Dyoxen - First Among Equals

I only just heard of this band and album this morning, and bam! here it is for you.  Dyoxen are kind of like a French Canadian Forbidden or Megadeth, in that they're a medium-strength Thrash band with a technical edge.  It's rare when I've never heard of a Thrash band that's actually good, but it turns out, this is quite the obscure band.  This is their only proper release, but hey, at least it's a good one.  Expect plenty of dive-bombs and stuttering rhythms, with an unexpected bonus of a nicely clear production.  Fans of Mekong Delta, Forbidden, and Watchtower should lend an ear to this.
