North Carolina's 3 Nail Life take this listener back to an early incarnation of heavy metal with "Dead No More". I like a bit of metal and I don't know if they meant it to sound like a first take demo, but that's what this single sounds like. "Dead No More" is a valiant effort but I thought I was in the Hope & Anchor in the early '80s listening to Stryper's last-minute support act. It is under produced and at times, well, out of time.
