This is already the third album of this band, which compares own music to old sped up Mustang… I think this comparison is good, because the machine dynamically rolls further with loud whirr of engine. This machine has pretty strong kick and drives by a road with sharp and dirty sound of motor…

The same is with music HEADCHARGER – literally! Dirty and heavy guitar sounds with drums' hits are ubiquitous. The sounds are created by combinations Grunge with Metal music as well as with the strong influences of Southern Rock motives and melodies. This usually is audible during different guitar accents and obviously sometimes during harmonica sounds. The harmonica sounds are like an car's klaxon struggling with a whirr of engine. And the driver which leads this heavy machine is uproarious vocalist. But the singing sometimes is more melodious. Obviously the speed changes always are inevitable during every drive – from really quick and sharp outright aggressive themes to calmer decelerations (even balladic).

The album brings the heavy and melodious music with features of quarrelsomeness, aggression as well as with moments of blues-rock melancholy. “The End Starts Here” was mastered by Alan Douches (who co-operated with SEPULTURA, FAT BOY SLIM, etc.). I think that HEADCHARGER sometimes created the climate somewhat similar to METALLICA from albums “Load”, “Re – Load” and “St. Anger”… and obviously the ballad also appeared here…
