NOTES
This album
features some of the heaviest and best vocals and guitar
sounds ever laid down on a single album. 'Rage of
Creation' is jam packed with everything that turned you
on to heavy metal to begin with: Awesome Screaming
Vocals, Blazing Guitar Leads, tons of smokin' bass, killer
drums sonics . . . need I go on?. There are different
flavors on this album ranging from Black Sabbath/Helloween/
Iron Maiden-type uptempo stuff to no frills melodic metal;
there is also a really dark downtuned song that starts off in
the Sepultura-vein and then goes thru a lot of changes;
there is a great ballad and an awesome cover tune as
well. Really a very well rounded album and the
performances by Rob Rock and Roy Z are totally amazing. "Rage
of Creation" CD is heavy and more metal-oriented partially
because there are no keyboards to speak of. In summary, this
release moves; it has fire and it
rocks!

NOTES
"The Code Of
Life" points out the Warrior typical trademarks, but also impresses with
Rock's incomparable voice and the almost perfect skill of Floyd to link
emotional guitar sounds with his unique technique. It's a heavier
darker album and Rob Rock sing harder like he did on his 1986 M.A.R.S.
Project Driver album.
