    Even with production that is more demo than album-worthy, Holy Saint is a band worth looking forward to. Chris Brooks leads the pack with good vocal work, though diaphragm and control work would greatly enhance his already fine vocal job (I'm sure we'll hear a stronger Mr. Brooks in future projects). Guitarist Radical Rad does a most excellent job. He shows us that he has great chops on the instrumental "777". Pat Tharp (bass) and Bruce Atomic (drums) do well holding down the rhythm. The ballad "Call On Your Name" is a little shaky at times, but overall I really enjoyed it! (Ed--it kinda has that Judas Priest-type feel.)
