Nice little band from my neck of the woods. Spirit Adrift is probably the closest to a traditional heavy metal band to enter the list so far. This is primarily a Nate Garrett driven project and he makes damn sure that the guitar riffs are king. Songs tend to toggle between straight ahead rockers and more subdued melancholy tales of woe. Nate’s turning out to be a fairly reliable source of metal since he has devoted all of his attention to the Spirit Adrift band.
