The former kings of the mp3.com Industrial metal charts are back. Jagged Doctrine returns after a long “hiatus” to deliver more of their aggressive industrial metal hybrid music. The Stalker tells the story of Kale: “Kale is torn between his loyalty to the Servants and his new friendship with Jessica. The lines are draw, a battle is brewing, and in the end the battle is for Kale’s soul.” This battle is well-played out through the course of the lyrics. Don’t expect a sermon in a song – expect two worldviews battling it out in honest ways. The music also contains everything that you would want from this type of music – eerie keyboards, crunchy guitars, and electronic beats. The mix is a bit on the muddy side, but not near as bad as most indie albums are. The good news is that this album is available as a free download on their site (if you like it, don’t forget to donate).
