Attica Rage

>> In Concert With The Mirror

Firmly rooted in high-octane, belt-driven metal Attica Rage come with a strict ‘No Compromise’ stamped on their foreheads. The riffs are brutal… a bit like being hit with a shovel during a storm, but the effect is gratifying. Touches of humour- like the title ‘In Concert with the Mirror’- and the deft cap-tilting debt they owe to Metallica make them even more likeable, and my metal days are long gone! If yer likin’ old school metal in the vein of Metallica and Machine Head then dive in- and if you don’t then dive in anyway because sometimes you just need to let your hair thrash in the speakers.
