The first time I heard RSJ was the sweaty 4 track EP 'Blueprint for a brighter future', and the raging power blew me away, and now the band have reproduced that surging metal 12 times over with adrenalin surging metal of the addictive kind with flowing rhythms that will suck in your psyche and convert you to the the RSJ method. The first tune 'its gone to far to turn back now' does exactly like it says and grabs you by the throat slamming you around the room, thank goodness the grip relaxes on the second song as the band get into their stride with 'Blood and sand' and the rhythmic sweeping sound bleeds through the grit as the pain lessens, song three 'Dredger' pummels your remains and drags you around the room with brief stompings to remind you that you are still alive whilst gorging forth a dark evil rhythm, song four, the 'Structure in 7/4' displays questions of the incredulous kind, I in particular liked the nine minutes of rhythmic steel in track twelve. RSJ have cast their steel into a rhythmic blast of beautiful hard proportions which will not let you down.
