Floyd Rose. Household name, right?
Come on. Everyone knows he's the brains behind the Floyd Rose Original Locking Tremolo. Keeps the guitar in tune while playing at different pitches and long term playing?
No?
Ok.
Well, he's in this band.
I imagine the Floyd Rose Original Locking Tremolo was a better source of income for him than this melodic hard rock soaring metal riffs and axe licking hard rock band that no one's ever heard of.
While the "chukka-chukka"s are pounding away I am struck by something. I always wondered why it was so seamless for hard rock bands to slide into country fried rock. (This is not that, btw)
And it's because, well, the "chukka-chukka" is basically the sound of a horse galloping. It makes sense to go full horse after the edges get worn and the youthful adrenaline subsides.
This is another in a long line of this kind of music. "Pull the Trigger" sounds the most like Priest which this band wants to be.
It's not along album, only 38 minutes, but every time I looked at my Apple Music player, thinking I was done, there were four songs to go...three more....two more...
