Stygian
"Fury Rising"
(Mortal Music)

Metallica meets Danzig in this meat n potatoes metal mash that has all the winning charactistics and sounds associated with both these legends - specifically during their 'classic' eras. OK, I guess this might be a tad too unoriginal for some given that Stygian have 10 years under their belt but there shouldn't be anything wrong really sticking to such a well crafted (and no less appealing) sound especially when you're doing it as good as these guys do on tracks like 'Fury Rising', 'One More Shot' and 'Last Redemption' where the band show they are more than able to not just rework but add value with their own subtle originalities.
