“Sirens” is the debut album from the masters of chunk themselves. “Sirens in a Precursor to the great albums that follow, but don’t let that fool you it is a wonderful album in its own way.

Slamming its way into the cranium of the listener from the very first riff is a good way to describe the felling that this album projects. Jon Olivia (note I may have spelled this name wrong on other reviews, for that I apologize) gives birth to the vocal terror that he would perfect in the following years. Criss Olivia (Dammit, perhaps another past spelling error, RIP by the way) shows that he has a talent on the axe. “Sirens” kicks off the album with a chunky signature Savatge style. “I Believe” and “Rage” are more tunes to go down into the bowels of Metal history. “Sirens” has absolutely no strike out tunes, and should be purchased at the first opportunity you have to pick it up.
