Jagged Doctrine returns after a long \u201chiatus\u201d to deliver more of their aggressive industrial metal hybrid music. The Stalker tells the story of Kale: \u201cKale 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&#8217;s soul.\u201d This battle is well-played out through the course of the lyrics. Don\u2019t expect a sermon in a song \u2013 expect two worldviews battling it out in honest ways. The music also contains everything that you would want from this type of music \u2013 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\u2019t forget to donate).<\/p>\n[2010 Independent | Purchase: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jaggeddoctrine.com\" target=\"_blank\">JaggedDoctrine.com<\/a>]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The former kings of the mp3.com Industrial metal charts are back.
