In recent years the art of heavy metal singing has been reduced to one sustained guttural yowl, so when a metal singer like Kyle Thomas comes along with a more melodic but equally fierce take--think a Southern Bruce Dickinson--there should be cause for much rejoicing in the metal community. OPEN FIRE is Thomas's first record with Southern metal stalwarts Alabama Thunderpussy, and with chops like these--ripping open tunes like "The Beggar," "The Cleansing," and "Whiskey War"--one hopes it will not be a short-lived tenure. And, oh yeah, the band shreds.

Audio Mixer: Ian Whalen.

Alabama Thunderpussy: Mike Bryant (bass guitar); Bryan Cox (drums); Erik Larson, Ryan Lake, Kyle Thomas.

Personnel: Kyle Thomas (vocals); Erik Larson, Ryan Lake (guitar); Bryan Cox (drums); Hormel Flansuego (percussion).

Rolling Stone (p.74) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Guitarist Ryan Lake can shred with the best, often navigating thick Sabbath-y soup but also noodling, lengthy, bluesy solos worthy of the Allman Brothers..."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.47) - "ATP as a whole reign victorious, finally finding a vocalist strong enough to complement their sheer brute force."

5 stars Metal Is Back! Southern Style!
I have a few Alabama Thunderpussy cds. I like Fulton Hill and Staring At the Divine...but they're not my favorite. It always felt like something was missing. They seem to change singers too much. It's like Spinal Tap or something. But with Open Fire the wheel has spun in the right direction. With new singer Kyle Thomas they seem more focused and much more metal. My favorite bands are Maiden,Priest,Grand Magus,Electric Wizard,Black Sabbath... and I'll be honest as I listened to this cd I thought back to the first time I heard Number of the Beast by Maiden. Cool riffs,intrusting lyrics,good vocals....well its all there. I'm not saying they sound like Iron Maiden but they have that strong song structure...with a southern vibe...its weird it almost sounds like the music could have been recorded in the 80's...I mean that in a good way... at one point while I was listening to the cd I said to my girlfriend "damn! listen to that solo...who the hell is that guy?!!" Yes it's that good....Go buy it today!

Rainbow Rising CD  (1976) Remastered

Open Fire album
CD $6.75  4.6 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
As the drums kick into the fierce opener "Tarot Woman," it's obvious that RISING delivers directly to your door. It is the band's second release, and a vast improvement over RICHIE BLACKMORE'S RAINBOW. With a revamped lineup that sounds like it had been touring together for years, the album takes no prisoners. "Starstruck" is a classic groove reminiscent of guitarist Blackmore's ex-band Deep Purple. Blackmore replaced everyone from the first album's lineup except vocalist Ronnie Dio with Jimmy Bain (bass), Tony Carey (keyboards), and Cozy Powell (drums). Dio shows what he's got with a stellar performance on "Do You Close Your Eyes." "Stargazer" is ...

Corrosion Of Conformity In The Arms Of God CD  (2005)

Open Fire CD music
CD $11.69  4.4 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
From the overture-like quality of "Stone Breaker" to the cataclysmic conclusion of the title track, IN THE ARMS OF GOD plays like a movie score. Songs ebb and flow, yet remain connected by Stanton Moore's roiling drumming, propelling the group through a swampy landscape of Southern metal. "Rise River Rise" takes its sweet time; guitars and drums tinker, while the bass rumbles along, and once everything is in place, there's a brief pause before the band roars to life. This tension and release is used again with even more success on the eerily calm "Crown of Thorns" transition into the self-titled tour de force album closer. Throughout the record, frontman Pepper Keenan's voice reveals a singer ...

Sword Age Of Winters CD  (2006)

Open Fire music CDs
CD $11.25  4.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Coming to grips with the Sword's unlikely genesis in the alternative music Mecca of Austin, TX, leads one to wonder whether heavy metal has finally become hip again. Depending on your generation, nothing will seem as simultaneously preposterous (Gen-X'ers who came of age during pop-metal's heyday and don't recognize it as an unrepresentative anomaly) or obvious (everyone else) when discussing a genre that's spent the bulk of its 35-year history on the absolute fringe of rock culture. If that isn't "alternative," well, what is? In any case, glorifying heavy metal's prototypical qualities is exactly what the Sword is all about, and their 2006 debut, Age of Winters, sees them joining California's High on Fire, Sweden's Witchcraft, and Australia's Wolfmother (to name but a few) at the forefront of what's gradually become known in the mid-'00s as the "heritage" or "retro-metal" movement. No, not stoner rock -- that's sooo ten years earlier! The only thing the Sword and their ilk have in common with most '90s stoner rockers is recognizing that all heavy metal empires are sprung from the Black Sabbath cornerstone, and the token signs can be readily heard in these songs' ominous doom chords (just listen to opener "Celestial Crown" ...
