Artist: 3rd Strike
Title: Lost Angel
Label: Hollywood Records

Disproving the "three strikes and yer out" adage, Los Angeles' 3rd Strike is in fact just stepping up to the plate. With punishing riffs and palpable lyrics, this street-wise quintet raps, roars, and redeems long and loud on the fiery opening track "Flow Heat," melodically
reflective "Redemption," and bruising "All Lies."

Where most Rap/Metal crews conceptualize a one-way street vibe thatloses its luster quickly and crudely, 3rd Strike adds a technically rich dynamic in their playing with upscale vocal harmonizing to step up their musical quality without the loss of their angry edge. All in all, this makes for a cut-above new release in a slow to develop and overcrowded field.
