Fletchanator's comment: With the word "shredder" in the album name, it's quite obvious this is going to be a bit harder than your average hard rock. And it is, bordering on melodic heavy metal with bursts of power metal-esque guitar riffs, while remaining entrenched in hard rock due to the lyrics and vocal harmonies. Despite some ridiculous song titles (Electric Dick? Stripper? F*cked Up Slut Groove?) the songwriting is actually pretty solid.
Information on this band is fairly sparse, but as far as I can tell this was their only album, and the band seems to have faded into obscurity (although they do have a MySpace page with some demos and unreleased songs).
If you like metal-edged hard rock with guitar shredding, ala Steeler or Cacophony, this will right up your alley.
