Forget the introductions, this isn’t CUSTOM‘s first rodeo on these pages. This powerhouse crew of extremely talented, Seattle based veteran rock ‘n rollers recently delivered one of their finest collections of hard rockin’, adrenaline pumpin’, fist raisin’, head bangin’ songs yet.

From the moment you click play on King of Alice all the way until the grand finale Finus Omnium (Reprise), expect one helluva mood boostin’, spiritually energizing journey through face melting riffs, neck breakin’ rhythms, soaring vocals, and some of the most wicked lead guitar shredding this side of the Pacific.

Once you hear that beauty of an engine purrrrrrrin’ on the intro to Open Road, you know it’s time to drop the top, push the pedal to the metal until the dust settles. If you don’t kick over your chair, grab your air guitar, and start shredding like your life depended on it, we will probably never find a way to be friends. This one hits you like a shot of adrenaline straight to the bloodstream. Personally, one of my favorites…although it’s really impossible to choose one favorite.

The thing is, during my first listen, every time I thought I’d found my favorite track; the next one would play and I’d find myself falling in love all over again. Energized. Feeling confident. Ready to conquer the world.

That might be the best thing about this face melting album: it pumps you up, makes you feel good, motivates you, and leaves you wanting more.

You know, like a shot of something you can’t get enough of…only nothing on the V album will kill you. However, it will leave you feeling stronger, possibly waaaaay cooler, and most definitely ready to conquer the battles ahead.

Jam this gem titled V on Bandcamp.
