Desert of Tears receiving great reviews
The reviews are pouring in and Desert of Tears is making top grades! 9 out of 10 in Germanys' famed Rock Hard Magazine! This is due in large part to the studio mastery of Colin Davis who produced and engineered the album. Known mainly for his recording and mastering within the death metal community, Colin's work on the latest Ruffians album proves that he also has a well developed ear for classic metal. Deset of Tears bridges the gap between vintage and modern metal production and delivers a sound that is both forceful and pristine! You can check out Colin's info at: www.extremerecording.com
