In an ever evolving yet always competitive market of the underground metal scene started by the 4 fathers of Geezer, Tony, Bill, and some tag along named John and inspiring the likes of Maiden, Priest, Motorhead and so many more including Metallica Megadeth, etc 25th Mission sets out not to transcend or evolve the genre but does succeed in recreating an amazing Album that feels as though it would be right at home in the 70s 80s and maybe even early 90s Disciples of Metal is a cool groovy throwback to an era that will not come again but to any listener will make you feel the energy to bang your head and throw the horns up .
Mike Deyhle is in top form on the vocals with Dio and Bruce Dickerson inspired vocals but also not shying away from showing some growling skills, Patrick Picarsic nails it impressive guitar work supported by Vincent Carollo on bass striking all the right cords to make any listener feel as though they’ve time warped to metals early years and Ed Breitkopf adds to the testosterone driven ride hitting all the right beats with fantastic drum work not one song in my most honest opinion can be recommended individually the album must be experienced as a whole from the first track to the very last nothing but praise for 25th Mission their Debut Album Disciples of Metal is a true metal fans wet dream look it up check it out you will not be disappointed
