The Strength / The Sound / The Songs

A high-octane collision of 1950s rockabilly swing and modern heavy metal thunder. Elvis-style crooning meets massive, palm-muted riffs for a greaser-metal party.

September 26, 2005 · Mascot Records (2)

A swaggering, high-octane celebration of rock-and-roll rebellion and heavy metal power.

Moments Worth Listening For

The sudden shift from a chugging metal riff into a swinging 1950s shuffle on Rebel Monster

Michael Poulsen's soaring baritone vibrato holding the final note of the Dusty Springfield cover

The relentless double-bass drumming providing a heavy foundation for the melodic crooning in Soulweeper
