You know it's a good day when you show up to Steve Kerwin's front steps and he hands you a copy of Asada Messiah's new collection of jams. I've been waiting, dying for Cross Contamination to be release for well over 2 years, when the album was recorded. Anyone familiar with their debut effort, Grill 'Em All, will be glad to hear the San Francisco quartet has sharpened their sound, leaning more towards the thrashy elements of their first album. While Grill 'Em All was a fun mix of thrash, hardcore and stoner metal (and an album which I probably listened to every day for like 3 months when I first got it) this album sounds almost like another band in regards to songwriting. Their knack for trad-metal with some doomy elements makes for a great combo. You've heard it before, but not like this. Definitely blast 'Devil On A Cross'. I've been watching these guys rage on stage playing this new material for years and it's been a long time coming for these jams to drop.
