LEX METALIS!!!WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Received my copy of Lex Metallis from the band. Who else has a copy? What do you think? I personally think this is their best yet, even though it is a cover album. It all sounds like Ultimatum. My favorites are the more obscure songs, Cant Get Out, Gut Wrench, Locked in Chains, Ton of Bricks, and Sin After Sin. I hope this CD does well for them and get them into some new markets.

I like it, but it's not a favorite. There are some really good covers like Can't Get Out, Gut Wrench, Creeping Death, and Powersurge. Ultimatum fans should like it, but I'm just one who generally doesn't like covers albums.

I also really like Metal Health! The first 30 seconds of that song is about the heaviest thing ever esp when those cannon drums and the growl come in!

You can always send your copy to me.

I love it!!! Good stuff!!!

Thanks. Glad you all are diggin it.

I know my opinion doesn't really count here, but I am really happy with how this came out. It sounds like an Ultimatum CD despite the fact that we didn't write a single song on it. My favorites include:

Locked in Chains
Sin After Sin
Gut Wrench
Ton of Bricks
MotoPsycho
Iron Fist
Can't Get Out
Steeler (Robert tore it up on this one!)

Ha! I know what you mean. I've been saying that since I heard the earliest mixes. The heavy guitar tone, the pounding bass, those monsterous drums and that death scream combine to created on heavy opening to that song.

My copy hasn't arrived yet but I am looking forward to hearing it.

no problem bro.

Has anybody received their CDs yet?

Not yet - hopefully it is in mailbox today

I have had my copy for over a week now and cannot stop listening to it. Favorits are still Cant Get Out, Gut Wrench, Locked in Chains, Ton of Bricks, and Sin After Sin but their version of Denim and Leather is a headbanging metal classic!

Ha! That's funny you wrote that. I JUST received an email from John in NY today that said the very same thing.

Hi Scott,

I got my Lex Metalis CD last week from OG records. It's great! I dig all the metal covers. I noticed there weren't any classic rock songs like Overkill's cOverkill. But with the name Lex Metalis you know what to expect.

I really like the covers of Moshketeers, Metallica and Quiet Riot. Your version of Denim and Leather is a headbanging classic!

Talk to you soon.

John

I think 2 more days. Probably on friday or saturday they will arrive.

Ugh! Nobody but a couple people from NM have received their copies from us yet.

I think my mailbox is broken, I keep looking but no CD appears inside.

I think tomorrow Saturday some copies will arrive. Let's hope I am one of those guys to receive it.

Got mine today!!!

My favorites are Locked In Chains, Gut Wrench, Steeler, Powersurge, Sin After Sin and Denim & Leather.

Got mine today!

Got mine yesterday!!!!

I'm still waiting to get a couple paychecks under my belt, but then I'll be picking this one up!
