Gauntlet
| Hailing from Youngstown, OH,
Gauntlet delivers straight edged heavy metal drawing musical comparisons to
Motorhead, AC/DC and Danzig. Gauntlet's 10 song debut CD,
"B@stards Of Rock" is refreshing release for a younger metal
band as they do not attempt to add loops, samples or hip hop beats. |

The fast paced style of "Lumberjack
Slam" comes off as the b@stard child of Motorhead and Pittsburgh thrash
legends Eviction. Guitarist Jesse Plaskett cuts loose razor sharp
power chords on the track "Payback" with drummer B.J. Stephan
providing a steady back beat. "Slap In The Face" slashes through
the speakers with a punk metal edge similar to the Straw Dogs, especially
in B.J. Lisko's snarling vocal delivery.
All in all, Gauntlet's debut release is an aggressive work of heavy metal which should do quite well in the metal underground with their no
nonsense straight ahead approach. The band has been playing shows
throughout the Ohio and Pennsylvania areas and recently added a second guitarist in
Cory Hoover. The addition of Hoover should only serve to
strengthen the sound of an already solid band.
In the coming months, Gauntlet will being
touring throughout Ohio and Pennsylvania. Check out Gauntlet's website at:
