CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Veteran metal warriors ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY return to the international arena armed with new vocalist Kyle Thomas (ex- EXHORDER, FLOODGATE) and the devastating new album Open Fire. Open Fire's 11 song charge sees ATP honed into a leaner, meaner, and wholly more-metallic killing machine. Tracks like Words of the Dying Man, Valor, Whiskey War and None Shall Return impact with the subtlety of a hammer to the head and stay embedded there long after. Spearheaded by Thomas' powerful battle cries and the burning fret-work of guitar-hero-in-the-making Ryan Lake, Open Fire is undeniably ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY's masterwork and follows through on their promise of delivering the finest metal this side of the hard rock classics.

CD ReviewsAxe weilding - blistering balls to the wall rock and roll! Joshua Alexander | Washington, DC | 03/16/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "Alabama Thunderpussy returns with a new vocalist. At first I was a little concerned that this album would be a let down and would not be a marked improvement over past efforts, including the timeless Constellation and Staring at the Divine. But Kyle Thomas simply adds more power, more emotional intensity and just plain opens the nozel and stokes the flames to unheard of heights. Ryan Lake and Erik Larson provide enough inspirational riffage and earth shattering solo work that my head hasn't stopped bouncing to some of the catchiest budweiser pounding, mug rasing mastery that the Thunder provides on this masterwork. Welcome to Valhalla mortals. Be thankful you are welcome amongst these gods of metal as they shake the very foundations of your soul." Johnny please come back! repeater | 08/04/2008 (2 out of 5 stars) "Maybe now that Johnny Throckmorton has left Immortal Avenger he can come back to ATP. Then they can stop jerking around with new singers and screwing up their sound. I just can't get into this album. Oh well, I never get tired of listening to Staring at the Divine" Decent Metal But Not Fulton Hill Dennis G. Voss Jr. | Lexington, KY USA | 12/28/2007 (3 out of 5 stars) "ATP's Fulton Hill is one of my favorite albums and I am fond of my Exhorder CD's, so maybe I came to Open Fire with excessively high expectations, but it didn't deliver what I liked about either group. It does not revisit the Sabbath-in-Alabama boogie metal of early ATP, let alone the astonishing variety of Fulton Hill. Nor does it deliver the rhythm-driven, pre-Pantera metal of Exhorder. And forget about the fabulous marriage of the two that I imagined (which on reflection probably sounded a lot like Down's first album). The music is more like what you would expect from the artwork: theatrical metal mixing gravelly vocals with screams that at times edge a little too close to the 80s (perhaps because they are layered?). Sorta like Judas Priest after simmering it for two decades and adding a dash of the U.S. South. The guitar work is still impressive and some of the songs have catchy riffs and/or catchy melodies, so I'm sure I'll pop Open Fire into the CD player every once in a while to keep from burning out on my other ATP discs, but it's far from the high point of their catalogue."
