"Remember the old days when the likes of Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Guns 'N' Roses, old Metallica and Judas Priest used to rule our lives? Ever wondered why todays's bands don't do this style anymore? Well make way for Skew Siskin, a quartet who're currently Lemmy's (Motorhead) favourite band, and will certainly bring the dying metal back to life. But what makes them so different from the already established metal bands? Meet Nina C. Alice on lead vocals, a female with attitude and an incredible voice that I rate very highly in this male-dominated genre.This album is full of banshee vocals, heavy riffs, catchy bludgeoning songs, sleazy lyrics - this masterpiece is a heavy metaller's wet dream! You'll feel that thanks to bands like Skew Siskin, metal is no longer dead.Check this album out and I guarantee you won't be disapponted!"
A great rock album from a great band!

"Here's a fantastic CD that just has to be in every heavy-metaller's collection. No excuse! This four-piece band fronted by a female vocalist (Nina C. Alice) with such an amazing voice, even more powerful than most male metal vocalists, they produce 65 minutes of the finest heavy Rock 'n' Roll you'll every hear. Even Lemmy himself contributed to some of the lyrics of a couple of the tracks, so that's gotta be saying something about how worthy this band is! Right from the very first track "Spend The Night With Me", you'll find yourself glued to the very end. And you'll be hitting that Auto-Replay button on your CD-player as soon as the CD ends! The very visual "Voodoo Doll" deserves a special mention, one of the best lyrics and story-lines to ever hit a Rock 'n' Roll song. Skew Siskin are not one of those bands that rely on just pure shock or image to grab atention. They're pure talent. The lyrics are very well written. The music is loud, heavy, catchy and rocking. It's everything that pleases my ears. Let's rock the house!"
