Title - This Is My War
Artist - Breed Of Aggression
For those not in the know, BREED OF AGGRESSION was born out of Scott McClellan and Susie Hoffman Beahm’s shared goal to create extreme metal that is organic, free, and without defining limits to their sound.
Their first album, This Is My War (released worldwide on Dark Star Records on November 5th, 2021) exemplifies that approach perfectly, delivering eight intense tracks produced by Destrophy frontman and guitarist, Ari Mihalopoulos, that boldly announce the arrival of this dynamic duo.
1. Dance With the Devil
2. Unmasked
3. This is My War
4. I am the Enemy
5. Cicada
6. Driver of the Nail
7. We are the Strong
8. Aftershock
This thunderously loud, melodically vibrant new album opens on the free flowing rock majesty of Dance With the Devil and the foot-pounding Unmasked and then comes the rock-tensity of the title track This is My War and the Goth-imbibed, drum-led, breathy guitar rocker I am the Enemy.
The throaty vocal and swirling guitars of Cicada make this a definitive stand out track and that is itself followed by the rhythmically passionate metal sound of Driver of the Nail, the album rounding out on the heartily euphoric We are the Strong, closing on the frenetically-paced brilliance of Aftershock.
Tony Martin, former Black Sabbath lead singer on BREED OF AGGRESSION, Susie sings really well and the talent is surely there, the tracks that stand out for me are Unmasked and I Am The Enemy.
Susie Hoffman Beham discusses making the album, This album has been two years in the making and I couldn’t ask for a better partner in its creation. The landscape Scott painted allowed me to open my mind and create something that came organically and without boundaries.
Scott McClellan talking about meeting Susie, I had been writing a metal album and was in search of a singer for it for a while, Through mutual friends I was introduced to Susie, I asked her to audition, the first song I was completely blown away by her power!
I was not looking for a female vocalist for this album, when I had heard her voice, my opinion was changed right away. Her skill stands out like no other in both male and female metal singers, that being said BREED OF AGGRESSION was born.
