This five-track demo portrays Jason Catizone as a one-man evangelist with a need to reach the lost via the medium of hardcore a la Six Feet Deep with hip hop-style vocals. Jason himself admits that "the recording quality is not phenomenal", but this should not take anything away from the overall performance. There are some excellent tunes on here, the basslines and drumming being particularly strong. Lyrically the focus is upon Jesus as the answer to life's questions. Not a lot can be said about this, really; it's basically preaching over a drumbeat. The only diversion from this is the excellent "Worthy", a hymn of praise to God - never have I heard a heavier praise song! If there are to be any quibbles, it's that perhaps the music would sound better if performed as a band rather than one person playing everything, and sometimes the guitar parts are a little contrived; but these are minor gripes, and I am unashamed to have this demo in my music collection.
