Kreator: Phantom Antichrist

KREATOR

PHANTOM ANTICHRIST

   Although Kreator are not the biggest Thrash Metal band in the world, they certainly are one of the best. Phantom Antichrist demonstrates Kreator's mastery with a unique fusion of pure Thrash brutality, light speed riffs, fearsome vocals, chant worthy melodies and infectiously memorable instrumentals. This is an album packed with anthems and doesn't have a single track marginally below amazing. Only true classics like South Of Heaven, And Justice For All and Rust In Peace come anywhere close to the Metal majesty of Phantom Antichrist. For any die hard Metal fans worried about the state of the current Metal world, Phantom Antichrist is sure to repair your faith and trust.
   From the haunting into of "Mars Mantra" straight into the skull crushing brutality of the title track, you get a strong idea of what the rest of Phantom Antichrist has in store. Despite consisting of rather unhappy song titles such as "Death To The World" and "United In Hate", there is certainly nothing glum about this album. There is nothing but pure mosh worthy Metal beacons. Tracks such as "United In Hate" and "Victory Will Come" are destined to become gig classics. Although the album is packed with anthems, tracks like "Your Heaven, My Hell" and "Civilization Collapse" are sure to get fists in the air and bodies flying. Overall, Kreator have created a masterpiece. Their divine creation is sure to help them on their journey to the well deserved festival headline slot. The big question is, "Can Kreator beat Phantom Antichrist?". The bigger question is "Can any other band beat Phantom Antichrist?"

Thank you for reading, feel free to comment or ask any questions. I will also consider album recommendations to review.

  • For fans of: -Destruction, Sodom, Slayer

BEAST IN BLACK: DARK CONNECTION

  BEAST IN BLACK:  DARK CONNECTION     Bombastic, heavy, wild and fun, Dark Connection is everything that any obliging listener can expect to hear from Finnish whippersnappers Beast In Black.      Saturated with synths, electronics and plenty of twiddling guitars, the album has a very European (or more specifically Scandinavian) Pop vibe, more prevalent here than on Beast In Black's previous efforts. That said, there is no shortage of cracking riffs, slamming drums and impressive vocals.     Kicking off in dramatic fashion, " Blade Runner " offers up an seizure inducing blur of riffs and crazed keys. Sounding like a disco injected Judas Priest, " Bella Donna " is bizzare yet undeniably infectious and catchy. With a great sing-along chorus, crunchy Metallic riffs and an abundance of synths and keys, " Highway To Mars " is another groovy staple. Offering a little more heaviness, " Hardcore " pounds and thunders along like a softer Sabaton, befo
