Early Man
This is kind of interesting, a duo out of New York
(by way of Ohio) appears
seemingly out of nowhere to release a nifty little album
called
Closing In in 2005.
The style here is clearly early-80's based, sometimes
unabashedly NWOBHM worship ("War Eagle")
at other times verging on early
Metallica
cloning
("Feeding Frenzy" and in particular
"Evil Is" sound like
Kill 'Em All outtakes),
with most songs somewhere between these two
styles.
There's nothing very complex here, but it's surprisingly
well done, simple yet effective, a fine release that
probably not a lot of metal
fans know about yet.
It'll be interesting to see what Matador Records (a sizeable
label, though hardly metal)
does with a band like this, as often metal
bands on non-metal labels tend to languish or lapse
into obscurity.
Hopefully that won't be the case here.
