Genre: traditional metal

Pro wrestling fans may recognize the name Brute Forcz as the name of the tag team that starred the twin brothers Jammer and Slammer. And, well, the metal trio Brute Forcz is pretty much identical to the wrestling tag team, as it stars Jammer on bass and vocals and Slammer on drums, the added element being the British guitarist Will Walner. So, if you happen to be a fan of both metal and pro wrestling, then "Out For Blood" must be your wettest dream come true.

The tracks on "Out For Blood" are straight up traditional metal and just as 80s as pro-wrestling is. And, well, let's face it, if there were two cool things in the 80s, it was pro wrestling and traditional heavy metal. Drawing on the likes of Judas Priest and Motörhead, Brute Forcz have opted for relatively simple heavy metal songs, driven by solid drum beats and tight, rocking guitar riffs. Some tracks, like 'Thrill Queen', 'Out For Blood', 'Metal Injection', and 'Torture Chamber' are more in the vein of a simplified Judas Priest or Running Wild, while 'Sex Machine' and 'Leather N Chains' draw more on Motörhead, which also applies 'Live For Speed' although it has more of a Discharge feel to it.

Whether one wants to consider "Out For Blood" a simplified Priest/Motörhead or a refined Midnight, there is no doubt that Brute Forcz's music captures, well, brute force, it is simple, straightforward and in your face like a dropkick. The Jammer-Slammer rhythm section provides the minimalistic and rock solid rhythm section, while Will Walner's guitar solos are blazing and face-melting the old school way. Jammer's vocals do become a bit monotonous in the long run, and sometimes sound more like talking than singing, but they have a raw edge and gravelly harshness that suits the music quite well.

If you like straight-up old school heavy metal characterized by minimalistic brute force and blazing guitar solos, then "Out For Blood" is an album you should not miss out on.
