This article was originally written for Metal Edge Magazine when I was a contributor to their CD & DVD reviews sections. Writing for a print magazine is very different from that of an online one based on a strict word count and these items had to follow specifics to ensure proper spacing on the pages. With this being the case the review content that you see here is far different from the other reviews presented on PiercingMetal.com – The folding of the magazine in 2/2009 found me listing these reviews on the official site blog as a single article and eventually incorporating them into the main website content for maximum searchability as individual items.

The Casket Salesmen are much along the line of a melodic experimental rock band than their cryptic name would ever have you believe. They blend alternative feels with tasty rhythms and melodies to give you an enjoyable dose of Rock & Roll. Led by singer/guitarist Phil Pirrone the group adventures into several different genre territories and yet still manage to capture the listener’s attention on every cut. There is a lot of Post-Punk vibe that sometimes touches upon the Prog-Rock angle along with some Ambient feels that make the band something worth listening to a few times before making rash judgment.

Thoughts about this once great magazine can be left on our original blog about this subject HERE
