Pounder Breaking World CD

Wasting no time keeping that envious momentum going, Pounder return with all guns blazing on 'Breaking the World'. Leaner, meaner, and all-too-accurately titled,'Breaking the World' sees the band - vocalist/guitarist Matt Harvey, bassist Alejandro Corredor, and lead guitarist Tom Draper - getting both heavier and more anthemic, more American in their metal but also more wide-ranging in their reach. Comprising seven songs in a satisfyingly compact 37 minutes,'Breaking the World' keeps the energy flowing freely across these more concertedly epic songs, but not once is there a feeling of bloat or padding out lengths just for the hell of it; these songs charge hard and are painted with solos of a godly nature and all sorts of tasteful twists.
