As with their three song demo released last year, Closing In sounds like it should've been released right after Metallica's Kill 'Em All and Paul Di'Anno was just replaced by some dude from Samson. There�s a base of chugga-chugga riffs driving the whole deal, but that would be wholly unremarkable if not for the overall playing. They�ve got a handle on what makes an ass kicking head banger, and it shows.

I judge Early Man for what I hear in the grooves and that is kick ass, early '80s influenced heavy metal that brings back the glorious sound of Kill 'Em All.
