"All the way through the CD has a real dirty “live” feel to it, which I think is great."

Evil Twin Is A Must-Have Rock 'n' Roll Smash-Up!!!
"....brilliantly surpasses its predecessor..... a savage, brutal rock and roll smash-up that will have rock fans smiling.

This album is the real deal-a must-have for any rock and roller worth his or her salt-GET A COPY NOW!......"

GMT Evil Twin is Loaded with Power. From the starting gun of this album, Punko Rocco (Featuring Dee Snider of Twisted Sister on vocals).(...)
The album is a tidal wave of pure music guts and all. It is a rock and roll statement not to be forgotton. Each song is in your face, the wild masters at work.
Gritty spice swirled into truth and real leathery vibrations of solid sound. There is no filler music, just pure heavy real solid rock and roll.
Are you ready to rock and roll? This album should be turned up to 10. Each story is a true testement from the real source
Bernie Torme stands the test of time. Unchained and truely. An album everyone should get.You will play this over and over.
GET YOURS NOW!! GMT EVIL TWIN.

"........ An outstanding, raw brutal study of merciless hard rock with a slightly punkish attitude..... Dee Snider on guest vocals... It's heavy, dirty and phat....
rips the air in front of the speakers to pieces.!"

"Razor-sharp and relevant as hell, that's your Bernie Torme, the guitarist who could have been up there in the six-stringers pantheon if he didn't stick to his own guns and other thunderous devices.

"...(GMT) up the ante, creating a soundscape where heavy, punk -like riffs coexist with psychedelic Hendrix influenced guitar overtones and intelligent lyrics, all served up with a unique British flavor.......... something really special.......... Tabbed by this site as "Album Of The Month" for December....... the chemistry of this band cannot be denied..... passion fueled music which is only driven by their love of playing, not commercial concerns, which is how it should be.

"Coming on like a crazy cross between ZZ Top and prime-time Alice Cooper, GMT cleverly catapult every kind of rock music into their huge sound to stunning effect..."
|
..."they couldn't give a shit, they let it all hang out... GMT is murderously good fun!"
|
"Does the album have huge licks?....... Oh does it ever!...... the playing is top notch ....... it's a roller coaster ride through the ups and downs, swings and turns of rock n roll.
And everything is held together perfectly....." overall rating 9/10

Evil Twin is a must have, so few bands today have the ability to inject that urgency into the music that grabs the listener....
I did not smell a single filler track on this one.....

"...Evil Twin is vintage Torme craziness, a slashing, smashing slab of wild beast throb that will have you air-guitaring like an idiot for days."

".... the 'evil twin' to their debut, an even more nasty collection of wild songs featuring Torme's blistering guitar licks, rock solid rhythms, and most importantly, memorable, hard rockin' tunes.............ten tracks of 'get on your feet and rock' tunes.......

"Just like its predecessor, “Evil Twin” is an album that has to be experienced. Though it’s dirty and basic rock, there’s so much going on during the 10 songs that it’s impossible to get bored...."
|
"Those who doubted the British trio would retain the level of intensity set in 2006 with "Bitter & Twisted" should run in fear ..... the veterans do deliver....." (Dmitry Epstein)

Marshall Amps likes "Evil Twin"
"..The guitar sounds really big and growly in the rocky tracks and it has that nice spanky fat clean tone on the blues song a la Hendrix.
There's no mistaking John's bass on any record and this is no exception..........."
From Steve Dawson "the man who's responsible for the design of the Vintage Modern" (Marshall Amplification)

"GMT’s debut album was one of the revelations of 2006. A thunderous, roaring opus full to the brim with raw excitement. It was always going to be a difficult act to follow..... John McCoy and Robin Guy must surely be one of the most powerful rhythm sections ever assembled and Bernie Tormé is undoubtedly the gypsy king of guitarists – screaming away with a wonderfully wild abandon... Evil Twin is a joy to listen to........"

"There’s tons of killer numbers on here ... If you only buy one album ...make sure that it’s GMT"

We asked our eager GMT Forum members for their reviews of EVIL TWIN.
Here is what some of them came up with, thanks guys, WE LOVE YOU TOO!
"In 2006 the world was introduced to GMT. This band although new at the time had members that were very well known and respected within the industry. Bernie Torme ex-Gillan, Ozzy, Desperado and solo artist with a guitar talent so mind blowing had got back together with ex-Gillan bassist and mainstay John McCoy and they had recruited Robin Guy a wild drummer who had the capability to play better with one hand than most drummers can with two hands. After releasing their debut album that year 'Bitter and Twisted' which is hailed by many as the 'saviour' album of Rock music due to its no holds barred dirty rock'n' roll style the band toured hard on it and then returned to the studio to release the follow up. Well now I have that follow up album in my hands 'Evil Twin' and if you've heard 'Bitter and Twisted' and appreciate just how good it is then you better take cover because this album 'Destroys' it. ..." (Big Daddy)
"...More menacing and more instantly memorable than it's predecessor (which in itself was a fantastic album), what EVIL TWIN actually seems to be saying is "we are GMT, we are here to stay whether you like it or not, and we're going to rock your brains out". It's good honest rock played by people who enjoy what they do, who aren't playing something because it's supposed to be 'cool' or fashionable, but because it sounds good. And it does. The minute that you've finished listening to it you're going to start playing it again - it's just one of those albums...definitely an instant 'classic'. (Taz girl)
"If ‘Bitter and Twisted’ knocked you on your arse, then pick yourself up and dust yourself down because ‘Evil Twin’ will certainly kick you in the balls! ...Hard edged, Fast and manic, clever and catchy…..put these all together and it still doesn’t come close to what this album achieves....With GMT, what you see is what you get, which is top-notch music delivered with a genuine passion from a band that young up-and-comers should take notice of and learn how its done..." (Ace5150)
"G M T is what these guys have been rehearsing for all their lives and Evil Twin is the undisputable proof...Opens in fine form with Punko Rocco and doesnt let up from then on; to describe each tracks merits would take me all day. I love it. and find I cant listen to anything else at the moment....The best bass player, guitarist, and drummer in the world." (Fatty)
