 | | Singer Pat Mulock, on his second recording stint with Eidolon, recalls a less one-dimensionally strained Dave Mustaine -- that is, slightly nasal, mid-rangey, irritated, p.o.'d, and inexplicably powerful -- mixed a little bit low amidst the live-sounding drums; galloping, grumbling bass; and an occasional, unconvincing backup death vocal. |
 | | Overall, the production could use a little more thunder and crackle, and lyrically, Apostles of Defiance is a bit bland, but these are minor quibbles considering the album's muscular performances, convincingly dark vibe, and a healthy ear for quality songwriting. |
 | | Diehards will appreciate the unearthing of a relatively rare album, although newer Eidolon apostles will give it a spin for curiosity's sake, and probably deem it a bit too drenched in the influence of the 1980s. |
