Traditional metal with girls rocking hard is nothing new. The Runaways were doing this in the late 70s and then Girlschool were even heavier and showed girls could crank heavy metal among the best of them. Since then there have been a plethora of all girl metal bands coming on to the scene. Kittie or Asarte are perhaps the heaviest, but Crucified Barbara not only can rock hard they can look good doing it. They are Swedish and always are dressed to kill, looking seductive on album covers and photos. I believe that many fans are male simply because they are drawn to gorgeous metal chicks. But these gorgeous girls can really play and demand respect everytime they hit the stage.

The album material is killer rock throughout with only a few slower softer sections.

'Jennyfer' is the slowest and softest using acoustics, the verses are sung with a more commercial sound but it gets heavy again in the chorus.

The traditional metal is heard in songs such as 'Can't Handle Love'. Mia Coldheart sings up a storm as always and keep a constant chugging rhythm on guitar.

'Creatures' starts with a deathly scream, and then Mia's strong vocals. The lead break by shredder Klara Force is excellent, lots of hammer ons and speed sweeps and string bends. The bassline is always pulsating by Ida Evileye. Percussion is handled well by Nicki Wicked.

There is fast metal such as 'Pain and Pleasure' and the vocals sounding like Girlschool. It is loud and aggressive, lots of fist pumping choruses to yell to in the live arena. The chugging riffs are simple but effective. The lead breaks are always a key feature.

Overall this is a band well worth checking out. I believe they are one of the better all girl bands out there; besides looking attractive they actually know how to play solid heavy metal.
