This song is unapologetic with it's self indulgent guitar solos, corny but heartfelt lyrics, stomping bass and huge drums. This is in honor to his majesty Dio and as well this is a song written to myself, since I personally enjoy this kind of stuff. The  Revolution won't be televised and it will not be stopped.

Just Disappointed

Highway Revolution

This has been the most difficult song for me to create. Again tried something different with the vocals and this somehow ended up becoming my first attempt at death metal vocals.

Consume Obey

Just a simple cover of one of my all time favorite video game songs, Mince from the first Guilty Gear. After feeling frustrated that I could not find a digital version of the song anywhere I decided to make one. I liked it so much figured I'd share it with everyone else, also for the keen eyed folks I threw my own little twist in the end with a couple solos. 

Be Just or Be Dead!

I wasn't 100% satisfied with how the original turned out so I remastered it a little.
