But sadly, not really. The music strikes me as a mash-up of Guns'n'Roses with Godsmack, and the vocals lie somewhere between the proggy power metal style of Stratovarius and grittier straight-up hard rock of Godsmack or Black Label Society. The net result is that there are some pretty cool riffs to be had on here, some interesting drum parts, and the occasional bass fill that jumps out. The vocals show good enough influences, but the influences are actually never particularly well invoked and instead just sound forced. This is particularly painfully obvious in the choruses of songs like "Primitive Business" or "Suffer," where the vocals sound like little more than a mockery of their predecessors and destroy any chance of taking the lyrical matter seriously.
