Lifers debut album marks the first time
Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson handled production duties outside of his own
band. If you are expecting a progressive hard rock sound like Rushs, you
might be disappointed. On the other hand, if you are looking for powerful
modern metal in the tradition of Soulfly meets Tool then you are in luck.
If you like nu-metal then Lifer is a shoe-in for your CD collection. They
pack a lot of punch with heavy guitar riffs and powerful yet melodic vocals.
They follow the nu-metal formula for the most part but at times you hear
a glimpse of prog and speed metal. Unfortunately they did dabble a bit
in the rap-core field, if that doesnt do it for you there are plenty of
other tracks to choose from. All in all, a great debut album from a band
that should have no problem making a name for themselves with nu-metal
fans.

I Just saw them at Water Street Music Hall on September 2 2001, and they kicked ass. I had never heard of them before but the next day I went out and bought their CD. It is so great. They are a band that I think will definetly make an impact on the music world.
