This is the debut album of the Greeks OOTL.
The band originaly exists since '95 under the name of Wolverine,
after some promo recordings they changed to Out Of The Lair in '00.
Two years later they released their debut album which is actually
self-financed since they are not supported by any label.
For a young band and a self-financed album,it's a very very good work.
These guys from salonica show from their first album that they are not
copy cats of any other succesfull band,and that they wonder through 
their inspirations and influnces.They sound multidimentional with many
moods and different melodies.If I have to put their music in a tab
to make help some people understand what these guys are into I would
say a kind of Speed Metal but not static at all.
They have songs that you'll have to listen to 5-6 times to "get them" 
better and other that the riffs or lyrics will stuck in your head from
the first time listening.Top moments of the album are the tracks "G.O.D"
"Vampire Lady" and the same titled and kickin' "Psychotears"
Also the whole work in the booklet and the whole package is absolutely
profesional and so is the sound (that doesn't means that it can't be better! :P).
Add as bonus the participation of Sakis from Rotting Christ in two songs,
and the cd-rom area of the album in the  Limited Carbon Box Edition
with some multimedia specialities :)
Great debut,check it.
