"What's up with christian music suddenly? I had never heard of a christian "dirty south rock" band and this year there are two. Don't worry, if you think christians can't rock, mother Maylene and also the Showdown are here to set you straight. And after they rip your face off and then drag you through the mud you will repent and lift your hands and shout hallelujah. Then you will realize your in the car and put you hands down and hope nobody saw you. If you liked Pantera, Clutch, COC, mixed with a little skynyrd you must get this album."

Raw, Gritty & Rude Southern Fried Metal

"Like their label-mates 'The Showdown', these guys have turned out a very solid & promising first album. They have a unique sound - it's not easy to compare them to any particular band out there. Edgy guitar tone, wide-ranging, well-done vocals and a very solid bottom end all in service to excellent writing and catchy, hook-laden riffs and leads. This band is a very welcome addition to the metal scene. The only real complaint I have is I don't think there are quite enough guitar solos. The guitarists are certainly capable (tracks 1 & 4), and tracks 2 & 8 have cool, bluesy-sounding solos that stumble lazily along, and it would be nice to hear them show-off a bit more.

Break out your Jack Daniels

"And fix up your bar because this will put hair on you where hair doesn't belong. Crunchy riffs, clean solos, and ferocious vocals. It's a mix of hardcore and southern rock. The truth is in the music folks. Dixie-core...or Kentucky Fried Hardcore? Whatever you call it, it's an evolution. Give it a listen, you'll be out of Jack and back on your Harley and to your favorite bar in no time."
