Finally ! We get some real metal.It's good to see some real new fresh music to bang your head and pump your fist in the air too.I saw these guys open for BLS in Sparks,NV.They put on one helluva live show with the swagger of a group you might have thought has been around forever.I ordered the cd when I got home (at a good price)and haven't stopped playing it since.These guys have a very bright future ahead of them.Buy the cd its worth every penny.

Ein Ausnahme Album von einer Ausnahmeband...

ARCHER " DOOM$DAY PROFIT$ "
Archer sind eine in Europa gänzlich unbekannte Band von der amerikanischen Westküste, die mit Ihrer in 2006 erschienen CD " Doomsday Profits " ein wahrlich gewaltiges Erstlingswerk vorgelegt haben.
Mit 11 Songs und mehr als 60 Minuten Spielzeit legen diese jungen Musiker von zum Teil nur 20 Jahren ein gewaltiges Stück Heavy-Metal vor, welches in Sachen Ideenreichtum, Druck und musikalischem Verständniss manchen altgedienten Profi alt aussehen lässt.
Unter den 11 Songs sind fast alle erwähnenswert, eigentlich muss man neidlos anerkennen, dass es keinen wirklichen Ausfall gibt. mit " Man who knows all ", " Pride before the fall", " Van Salem " und " Wild Roads " zeigt diese Ausnahmeband wie man traditionellen Heavy Metal druckvoll und Ideenreich mit modernen Einflüssen kombinieren kann. Eine gelungene Mischung aus treibender Leadgitarre, gepaart mit harten Riffs, abwechslungsreichen Drums und einem einfallsreichen Bass zeichnet die vorgenannten Songs aus. Mit " Sanctuary " beweisen Archer, dass sie auch im Mid Thempo Bereich talentiert sind. Besonders hervor zu heben sind jedoch die mehr als 7 Minuten langen Songs " Disclained Delight " und " Trusting in Fate ", wo neben einer sehr harten, heavy gespielten Rhythmus Gittare besonders die treibende Leadgitarre immer wieder einfallsreiche Thempo Wechsel einleitet, ohne unnötig in den progressiven Bereich ab zu triften.
FAZIT: Wer traditionellen Heavy Metal, Hard Rock liebt und sich an einigen wenigen, geschickt eingefassten, modernen Einflüssen nicht stört, der ist hier bestens bedient.

author: ALTERNATIVE ROCK PRESS
Doomsday Profits , Archers first full ength CD is long over due and Im sure the Arrowheads of the world are glad to have a new pallete of Uncharted Metal Turf to devour endlessy, as these tunes dont get old. But even more important is that this CD Rises to the top of the pile of crap on the radio and shines through like a Diamond in a Goats ass. Anyone with a ounce of sense or taste will tell you that the state of music has come to a crawl, effortless drones of mediocre noise and nonsense has clogged the airwaves for way to long. Enter ARCHER - Imagine walking through darkness and coming across an enchanted land were Life is seen with new Eyes, Eyes of mystery and truth. You hear voices chanting in melody against a Mile High Wall of Undiscovered Classic Guitar Licks weaving in and out of the Thunder of the Gods like a leaf in a Hurricane. There are 11 Songs on this CD,any of which could easily find themslves on any Rock Radio Station with the balls to go against the current trend of playing heartless drones and whiney chick songs that make the Archies sound cutting edge. 5 of them have the potential to become Cornerstones for The Future of Classic Rock. Imagine Led Zeppelin, Guns and Roses, Nirvana, Van Halen and Metallica all rolled up into a 3 piece band on fire, Just listen to the songs and you will agree, ARCHER IS HERE TO STAY!
