Bludgeon

A rising band from Chicago, Bludgeon is receiving quite a bit of press due to being discovered by Manowar's Joey DeMaio, who not only made them the first band signed to his new Magic Circle label, but produced their debut album to boot. Crucify The Priest has nothing in common with Manowar, but it is a pretty solid thrash/death metal effort, with a fine production and chock full of crunchy, mostly mid-paced riffs. A shade more variety would be helpful, but this is a fine debut album.
