Some people say
that power metal is kind of played out and doesn't have exciting
stuff going down. People say it's lost its spark and now it's just
silly music for the metal masses. With Justifiably Pissed Klaymore
seek to restore the faith with a ferocious attack that bites down to
the bone with hard hitting thrashy vocals that are directly
contrasted by wailing powerful singing. This is the crux of the music
and it drives Justifiably Pissed hard,
keeping the band exciting and potent, proving these guys are rock and
rollers who will take your soul.
While
at first the whole concept seems a little bit formulaic, Klaymore
quickly settle into a groove creating interesting songs that use
fancy guitar work and their trademark vocal attack to help refine
something that will endlessly fascinate the listener. The only real
drawback I find to these guys is that the production quality is a bit
subpar, things feel ab it too raw and with the vibe the band seems to
want – well, better production would just put it through the roof.
As is though, there are lots of great hooks here that keep things
exciting and will have you singing along, even from the first listen.
Justifiably Pissed proves
that Klaymore know how to write some tight songs that will get you
bopping along, even if metal isn't your main shindig.
At the end of the day, Klaymore are just fun to listen too. These
Pittsburgh rockers have an aural assault that comes across as far
tastier and much more inspiring than that of their peers. When these
guys reach out, their voices soaring, guitars blazing and drums
crashing, you realize that they are turned on to something special.
As they refine their sound and develop their hooks they could take
what is already a very strong formula and make it into something
great, the sort of grim salvation that will carry you through even
the darkest nights.
