OK so I have no clue who Mike Paradine is. And that is not because he’s a drummer. I just don’t think I’ve heard anything he’s been involved with prior to this his solo debut. So what can we expect from a drummer fronting and band with his own name? Well, this isn’t as bad as you’d think. It’s not some Bill Ward or Ringo Starr excursions into jazz land. This is pure and simple heavy metal in its various disguises. You get the aggressive in your face opening track that is pure heavy metal. You also get some more melodic songs. All in all this is a pretty well rounded dish served by some of the better people in metal’s involvement. You can without any fear of this being a turd indulge in some pretty great metal. What more can you ask for. This turned out to be a much better “drummer” album than I ever expected. Anders Ekdahl
