Catch 22--Through Eyes of Pain

Catch 22--Through Eyes of Pain (1997/PLP) Rating--7.8

Power/thrash indie metal from Ohio, in the mold of early Testament (with splashes of the 'Souls'/'Ritual' era as well). Vocalist T.J. Berry moves like Chuck Billy to boot, and his voice fits nicely with the music. A nice bottom-heavy feel in places, which blends well with the thrashier moments that appear elsewhere.
The constant chunky flow of "Nothing's Sacred" is good, and "We the People" is a drum-driven rhythm romp.
"Hell to Pay" is a screeching highlight, and other top spots include "Modern Day High Noon" and "Eye for an Eye".
TRACK LIST: Through Eyes of Pain/Nothing's Sacred/We the People/Lacerated Lies/Modern Day High Noon/Lost at Sea/Eye For an Eye/Hell to Pay/Speak For Yourself/Lessons in Agony/One More Dance My Dear
