You pretty much know what's in store for you every time a new Zodiac Mindwarp & the Love Reaction album drops: blaring three-chord rock, gloriously stupid lyrics, etc. So rather unsurprisingly, that's exactly what is featured throughout the group's 2010 offering, We Are Volsung.

You pretty much know what's in store for you every time a new Zodiac Mindwarp & the Love Reaction album drops: blaring three-chord rock, gloriously stupid lyrics, etc. So rather unsurprisingly, that's exactly what is featured throughout the group's 2010 offering, We Are Volsung. Still at the helm of the Love Reaction machine is Mark Manning (aka Zodiac Mindwarp), who created a brand of metal that certainly stood out from the pack during the late '80s (and served as a blueprint for what Rob Zombie would later perfect and ride to the top of the charts and arenas on). White trash metal, biker metal, it's all a fitting description of the tunes included on We Are Volsung. Case in point, the one-two punch of the album-opening "Stark Van Oben" and the title track, or just take a gander at such song titles as "We Ride" and "White Trash." That said, lyrically Zodiac Mindwarp comes up short here and there, as with the predictable sentiment conveyed throughout a song like "Don't Touch My Guitar." But as evidenced by tracks such as "Die Pretty," fans of Motörhead and early Guns N' Roses (the latter of whom Zodiac Mindwarp toured with early in their career) will find plenty of unapologetic, cranked-to-ten metal to sink their teeth into throughout We Are Volsung. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi
