Metal band Light This City's debut The Hero Cycle is being reissued by Prosthetic Records; I suspect this one would be popular with their fans as Light This City broke up in 2008, just before the release of their fourth CD titled Stormchaser.
The Hero Cycle was originally recorded in 2003, with the line-up being Laura Nichol, who is the pissed off screaming vocalist, Ben Murray plays the drums and guitar, Mike Dias on bass and Steven Shirley also handles the guitar.
"Apostate" is an explosive introduction to The Hero Cycle, as Light This City dish out a ballistic brew of thrash,hardcore and death metal. The Hero Cycle is an intense CD, with the ten tracks flying by fairly quickly. Honestly, that was enough time spent listening, as The Hero Cycle is a good effort for a young band, but after a few spins sorry to say I was looking for something else to put on.
Extreme metal fans who want to hear a young band showing what they can do should take a listen; otherwise there are better options than The Hero Cycle.
