The album promises to up the ante for \u201cthinking man\u2019s metal.\u201d Vocalist Warrel Dane could make reading the Yellow Pages sound interesting, and his traveling band of gypsies\u2014which now includes ex-Testament guitarist Steve Smyth\u2014straddles the great divide between technical power-metal and unabashed thrash. Fans of Dane\u2019s former band, Sanctuary, should be more than satisfied with newer songs like \u201cFinal Product\u201d and \u201cThe Psalm Of Lydia.\u201d Gigantour kicks off at (gasp!) 3 p.m. this Tuesday.
