专辑简介

Mach One was one of the forerunners of L.A. based Heavy Metal bands who's members also just happened to be of Armenian decent. Formed in 1987 by Donny Sarian(formerly w/Divine Rite)-Drums, Lead Vocals, Vahé Marzbetuny-(Red Snow) Guitar, and Zareh Marzbetuny(Red Snow)-Bass, they became highly successful on the L.A. Club circuit. They broke ground with melodic musical structure, and truly meaningful socially conscious lyrics in a time when most metal bands wrote about more frivolous and innocuous topics. Their signature sound was reminiscent of Classic Hard Rock/Metal "ala" Queesryche, Judas Priest and even UFO. The final cut on the CD became a call to arms in recognition of the 1915 Armenian genocide and a huge hit within The Los Angeles Armenian community. The song aptly entitled "Our Forgotten Cry" tells the chilling story of the suffering that the Armenian's faced under Turkish rule. Other highlights on the CD are "Pain of desire" with it's heavy backbeat and nightmarish lyrics of a love lost, and "Turn Around" which is a sad tale of living life under the control fears & phobias. A must have for all who enjoy well structured classic Hard Rock/metal with a strong message and brilliant musicianship.
