Remastered with new artwork and liner notes for 2008, The Killing System, from Ohio-based Saddleback Shark contains fist-pounding, crunching heavy metal with the blistering fretwork of phenom guitarist Rob Johnson. With Drew Collins on vocals and a rhythm section of John Homan on drums and Gil Graham on bass, the band rocks in the vein of Pantera, Megadeth, Racer X and Haji's Kitchen. High calibre musicianship and wickedly fast, shred guitar soloing make for a solid indie release.
