Bearing a striking resemblance to director
Kevin Smith
and the warrior dwarf
Gimli
as portrayed by actor
John Rhys-Davies
in the
Lord of the Rings
movie trilogy, guitarist
Kenny Cox
spearheaded
More
into their second album at full speed.
Cox
's vocal stylings suggest a weird hybrid between
W.A.S.P.
frontman
Blackie Lawless
,
Dio
, and
Brian Johnson
, while
continue to tread down paths forged by the guitar riffs of
Led Zeppelin
and the ferocious drumming of
Black Sabbath
's
Bill Ward
. There is nothing new here that hasn't been said or done before, but
do the essentials well enough to make this a passable listen if you're looking for something new that's been overlooked in the canon of
heavy metal
