Trucker Diablo – Fighting For Everything
Tom Harte – Vocals/Guitar, Simon Haddock- Guitar, Jim
McGurk- Bass, Terry Crawford- Drums
Born Trucker has a very Thin Lizzy meets The Almighty sound.
Just excellent hard heavy rock. We Will Conquer All more fist pumping, foot
stompin, melodic heavy metal the way it’s supposed to be played. Drowning In
The Fire starts with a Cajun feel and banjo. It then kicks in keeping the Cajun
feel but with an excellent metal riff. Voodoo II starts with a riff that will
stick in your head then turns into a great song to drive to but be careful it
might make you wanna go fast. Lets Just Ride reminds me of some of the great
70s song that just make you want to sing along to and jam. Fighting For
Everything will have your feet movin from the first note and singing along. This
is feel good, we will win, great music. Over The Wall grabs you and takes you
for a ride up and down rollin with each riff. Detroit Steel is more excellent
melodic heavy metal that just grabs you and wont let go. Die For You has an
excellent drum and guitar riff intro that will have your head bangin and your
fist in the air. Man these guys are freakin tight with some awesome guitar work
and excellent vocals. Pocket Full Of Changes is a heavy ZZ Top blues based
excellent hard rock metal. When The Waters Rise starts slowly with lots of
emotional guitar and vocals then it slowly builds with a great chorus that will
have you singing along and playing air guitar to the awesome leads. This is one
of the best albums I have heard in a while. For fans of melodic hard rock/metal
you need to get this one.

Bless The Moon takes you back to the days of Cream and
Frijid Pink excellent blues based hard rock with lots of feeling. In Your
Waters is another excellent hard riffing song that will have your foot tappin
from the first beat. The Witches Twirl has sort of a Free/Bad Company feel to
the music with some great vocals and guitar playing. Heavy Lips starts with a
Sabbath style riff and some excellent bass/guitar playing then mix in some
scorching leads. This song has it all. Cactus Killer has an excellent riff that
reminds me of the Amboy Dukes mixed with Cream and Sabbath with great stoner
rock vocals. Prey On Your Mind is
another trip back to the 70s and some excellent jamming music with a Beatles
influence. The Low Song is slow and steady with some awesome bass work and
guitar feedback then an excellent riff and tight steady drums. Ape Eyes has a
Pat Travers feel to the music and maybe some Jimi Hendrix and Frank Marino
mixed in a great song to sing along to.

As Above So Below has a Sergeant Peppers influence then a Pink
Floyd influence comes in with strange dark emotional vocals. Hearthfire is more
of a straight forward gothic metal song with some Peter Steele style vocals. Elysium
is acoustic guitar and a slow tempo with some very HIM style vocals. Our Dark
Design is almost industrial meets gothic metal. Kouta has slow keyboards and
dark gothic vocals that builds slowly. From Iron Shores
is another industrial meets death metal meets gothic dark dreary song. One
Hundred Years emotional piano slowly builds along with some synths then the
bass and drums move in at a slow pace with dark gruff vocals. Forty-One Breaths
acoustic guitar working its way into your soul then the band comes in dark and
heavy trying to take you to the dark side. Ennen a strange drum beat and keys
then guitar taking you on a very weird trip.

Fire Foretold builds and builds like a storm, slow and steady
with a stoner rock style riff and gruff vocals. Emerald Eyes has slow,
distorted bass and a heavy drum beat with lots of feedback. The Ice Lord takes
you to a time and place of unknown origin but definitely back in dark history.
Release The Lava ends this Sabbath doom metal fest with more excellent stoner
rock.
