Twenty years ago Chastain released their debut album "Mystery Of Illusion" for Mike Varney's legendary guitar hero label Shrapnel Records. It has now been seven years since their last release and there are many who have been awaiting this album for a long time. You probably wish to know if it has been worth the wait. In my opinion, yes. "In An Outrage" is a vivid and powerful album and full of energy that few bands manage to find more than twenty years into your career. This is the first Chastain album to feature the new rhythm section consisting of Vicious Rumors' Dave Starr on bass and Larry Howe on drums. "In An Outrage" is a tight and intense album which, despite having the playfulness of 80s hard rock, is heavy as the place below (trying to clean up my language?). The raw, whiskey-scented vocals from front woman Kate French also add further to fulfill the sound. At times you wish for more power behind her vocals but she definitely is the personality of the band together with David Chastain's wonderful guitar talents. Her way of singing sometimes reminds of a certain Dave Mustaine. "In An Outrage" relies less on fast songs but more on melodic, moody and heavy music which suits these musicians very well it seems. It is a great, solid album made by some of the most experienced musicians from the American heavy music scene and it makes old-school nostalgia come alive in the 21st century.
