Culprit's
Guilty As Charged remains the BNR favorite for best
Shrapnel
release of all time, featuring solid classic metal with a technical edge,
unique vocals from Jeff L'Heureux, and top-notch
but not self-indulgent guitarwork from from the duo of Kjartan
Kristofferson and John DeVol, living up to Shrapnel's reputation
as a guitar-dominated label.
Sadly, the band never got to record a second album,
as the departure of Kristofferson and bassist Scott Earl to
TKO
brought about the breakup of the band within a few years of that debut's release.
Like many an 80's band, there were sporadic reunion attempts over the years
and eventually Earl became the band's leader, with several new lineups
surrounding him.
