Music: Groove Metal
Website: http://powerstroke.be
Duration: 40:07 minutes (10 tracks)
Country: Belgium

After the recording of two albums and the played of many concerts (eg. with PRO-PAIN, DEATH ANGEL, AGENT STEEL) Belgian POWERSTROKE attacks the third album… The looking at the album cover and seeing the list of concerts of the band then I quickly can to know what kind of music presents POWERSTROKE…

The fast, rhythmic and heavy riffs… sometimes even the crushing or catchy licks… The fast stylish guitar solos… the very glassy, sharp but also melodic … The fast, strong pace and the lively rhythms and the emphasizing strokes… The various screams… growlings, melodic screams but also strong choirs… So the Hardcore-Thrash playing…

However, it is a quite simple characteristics of creativity POWERSTROKE, because in this music will find a lot of emphasis of Punk Rock, Death Metal or even Stoner Metal and in total this creates a really good Groove Metal.
