Master of Alchemy
Impressive debut. Dire kicks things off with a sound bigger than most 3-pieces have. A few similarities to other bands: Out of Life- Soundgarden's Jesus Christ Pose?, All Alone- Truckfighters-esque, weakest song Freakshow- the sellouts QotSA. Strongest songs are where they follow their own style: Misery- great bass line and haunting lap steel, Follow Me- gentle & ghostly, Not Coming Back- mature songwriting, epic vocal crescendos.
Favorite track: Misery.
