Description/Reviews: 

The opening track is aptly named 'Steamroller'. It's heavy, really heavy. A simple pounding riff drags you in and stamps all over you, while the vocals sway between angry as hell and a cleaner, more ethereal sound. Flutters of stoner-rock inspired guitar tails make the continued riff more interesting. The pace slows, the drums become more oppressive, the whole song changes in to something else, a progression that makes sense as it moves towards a spaced out passage. Then we're off again. Things remain aggressive until the last second. Stand-out track indeed! A good way to start an album.
Track two 'Her Majesty' has a post-hardcore feel. The vocals are more pronounced from the off. Weird guitar noises pulsate until the riff builds, accompanied by a tribal drum pattern. Then we get handed another riff, this one seems to have come from the Mastodon school of metal. The music moves between these two elements until we're introduced to a dark, blues infused breakdown. It doesn't take long for the heavy to resurface and lead us out.
