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.

Twin Brothers in Rock is not common in music; I think it was last done with Nelson but thankfully the guys in Madina Lake deliver a little heavier brand of Melodic Rock on their debut EP. Its bassist Matthews’s short story placed to words and it precedes their full length release. Vibrant vocal harmonies are all across the record reminding me a little of Breaking Point while the overall riffs on it done with taste and become easy to remember. The full short story will be explained on their full length so let this be an appetizing sample of what is yet to come.

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