Album Review

Reviewed 2009-02-19
Modern, British thrash metal sounds like it was recorded in 1987 right down to the production. Having said that this is a nice surprise for what were working with. Instead of the overused Kreator/Exodus + Metallica riffs, they incorporate some vocals that actual vocals that aren’t as clichéd and good sense of melody. So, if you mixed late 80’s Slayer, Dark Angel, Artillery & even Nasty Savage you might come up with this. Richard Goss’ vocals manage to conjure up both Tom Araya AND Nasty Ronnie. For that you can’t deny ‘em.

((((1))))) Galloping riffage with OTT very Nasty Ronnie/Tom Araya vox. Cool bass sound. So 80’s thrash you’ll start to grow white trainer shoes after hearing this.
(((((2)))) Traditional US Thrash riffs/build up, nice, tech structure & flowing bass and more “heard it a bunch before but it’s still awesome vocals”. A little too long though.
(((((3))))) Lots of riff variations, mid-paced full on ‘banger. Plus, the 2nd coming of “Nasty RonTom Araya” on vox. Kick ass!
(((((4))))) Dense riff after riff with some more awesome mid-paced, ‘eadbanger.
(((5))) WTF? You got your AC/DC riff in my thrash metal album. Slowed down “rockish” 80’s late-era ‘slow thrash’. Remincent of when the style was running of steam.
((((6)))) Gallop madness, more clear & present bass and Dark Angel-like attack with a totally 80’s stream of solos. (Legatos and all that guitar teacher junk).
(((7))) Not bad, but very average, mid-paced thrash with squeal pinch harmonics. Falls flat quickly.
((((8)))) Thick & heavy, circular riffing, shitloads of solos (and that’s just the beginning) then speedy & sharp gallop riffs, not always “on” vocals but it works
