America's Volume Dealer is the kind of album that Metallica would be making if they had any kind of testosterone left. But since they don't, Pepper Keenan and his COC bandmates will gladly pick up the slack and sacrifice themselves for the good of all Metalheads in the world.

Full of Riffs and Heavy Hooks, America's Volume Dealer offers quite a melodic metallic treat. Pepper Keenan's vocals sound better than ever, and his guitar work is magnificent as usual. Plus, all the attitude is still there and then some, as seen in tunes like "Congratulations Song," "Diablo Blvd," & "DoubleWide." America's Volume Dealer also features a softer, more melodic side of COC as seen in "Stare Too Long" which also features guitar great Warren Haynes (Allman Bros, Gov't Mule) on slide guitar.

Heavy, Melodic, Ballsy, Southern, Growly and shreddy, whatever you're into COC delivers! The Bottom line is that you can't lose with America's Volume Dealer.
