Lifer's debut album marks the first time Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson handled production duties outside of his own band. If you are expecting a progressive hard rock sound like Rush's, you might be disappointed. On the other hand, if you are looking for powerful modern metal in the tradition of Soulfly meets Tool then you are in luck. If you like nu-metal then Lifer is a shoe-in for your CD collection. They pack a lot of punch with heavy guitar riffs and powerful yet melodic vocals. They follow the nu-metal formula for the most part but at times you hear a glimpse of prog and speed metal. Unfortunately they did dabble a bit in the rap-core field, if that doesn't do it for you there are plenty of other tracks to choose from. All in all, a great debut album from a band that should have no problem making a name for themselves with nu-metal fans.
