Pump - Breakdown to Breakthrough - Heavy Metal - CD

Fronted by ex-BRAINSTROM vocalist Marcus Jergens, Pump's second outing, is a solid melodic metal workout featuring some fine whiplash riffing, wailing solos, punchy choruses and the gritty voice of Jergens. Back at the production helm is Tommy Newton (Victory) who delivers yet again another solidly produced Pump opus in 'Breakdown to Breakthrough'. Vocalist Marcus Jurgen's has a vocal style that is a cross between Dave Meniketti (Y&T) and Fernando Garcia (Victory). His excellent vocals mixed with the dynamic duo of shred, Aki Reissmann and Ullrich Simon Hauff are going to bring some joy to the ears of a lot of hard rock fans out there. There isn't a single track without some killer heavy guitars and great vocals to match. The rhythm section of Stephan Burk on Bass and Achim "Animal" Keller on Drums provides the infectious beats and awesome grooves on this disc. This is one of those CDs that will immediately appeal to 80G style hard rock fans.
