About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Project 86 have been cranking out loud, ferocious metal albums since 1998. Picket Fence Cartel is their seventh, and it shows no signs of a band playing out the string or simply going through the motions. Vocalist Andrew Schwab sounds as possessed and committed as always and the band churns out heavy riffs, squalling solos, and thunderous rhythms that sound live and powerful. This time out there is little of the new wave or hardcore influences that briefly arose on the last album, Rival Factions. Instead, the band retreats to a full-blown, all-out metal attack that is leavened here and there by the occasional folk-metal interlude (on "To Sand We Return") or outer space synth (on the catchiest song on the album, "A John Hancock with the Safety Off"). The intensity of the performances (especially the vocals) and the group's ability to write strong hooks mean that, although they may get lumped in with the Christian metal subgenre, there's plenty here for the non-believing metal fan to enjoy, too.

They've Still Got It!by Heavy_Metal_Sushi

August 18, 2009: These guys, without a shadow of a doubt, are my favorite band. I have been listening to them for years. This is a band that no matter what, when they release a new CD, I can just go ahead and go buy it without listening to it, because I know it's going to be good. This album is no exception either. I was pretty amped when I first heard they were going to be releasing another new album, and I went straight out and bought it right away after it came out. I usually do with their albums. I have listened to this album countless times already, and I still love it. I would recommend this to anyone who likes heavy rock & borderline metal type stuff. It's just a shame that B & N doesn't seem to carry their first 3 albums as well. Their first 2, Drawing Black Lines and the aptly self titled album are without a shadow of a doubt their best works in my opinion, and Truthless Heroes, their 3rd album, is not bad either. It's too bad that B & N doesn't sell them, but if you check out Project 86 and like what you hear, definitely check into some of those older albums as well. I would highly recommend that everyone check into these guys. Great band!

I Also Recommend: And the Rest Will Follow, Songs to Burn Your Bridges By [Bonus Tracks], The Art of Breaking, Comatose, Rival Factions.
