From the immediate riffs of album opener Heavy Fire to the instant hooks of first single "When The Night Comes In," from the dirty bass groove of "Thinking About You Could Get Me Killed" to the familiar and trademark dual guitars of Gorham and Johnson on "Testify Or Say Goodbye," Heavy Fire is an album that will further cement BSRÂ¹s reputation as one of the world premiere rock acts.
