Check out this band (sound files included)...

Nah, AFTTGB is really good, but every single song on Awakening the World is a thundering metal anthem, while the sophmore album has more skipable tracks. They both kick ass though, the vocals on the second one might be a bit better.
 
Well not really skipable I guess, there is no "bad" song I can think of on the CD, I tend to skip to tracks I like more often on that CD wheras I generall let ATW play from start to finish. Anyway, the both rule. Both albums are very unique in comparison with most of the European Metal from the past 10+ years.
 
are there still fans of Persuader here? Greg/Jason, I didn't realize you guys were into them.

I've never heard them, but they are lined up for...POWERFEST!!!!....!...!.......... .
