This ISN'T the British Reapers of yesteryear who back in the '70s pioneered worship music with evangelist Don Double. This new band features Dale Thompson whose work with Bride has long made him a hero with Christian metalheads worldwide. The other main member of the American Reapers in Tiago James of Bay Area thrash band Hand Of Fire. Stacks of time changes with every song a journey of aggression and darkness occasionally suffused with shafts of light and beauty. Outstanding guitarwork and far more light and shade than you normally get in music as heavy as this. I particularly recommend "Dream Before The Nightmare" though this isn't for the feint-hearted.
