Evile: Skull

EVILE: SKULL
      Skull is here, to encapsulate your brain and be on the receiving end of many a mosh session. That is not Skull's only purpose though. Skull is here to save the Thrash-Metal world from the chasm of repetition that it is slowly edging ever closer to. Does Skull really blow as many minds and level as many buildings as the earlier reviews indicate? The short answer is a resounding yes. The long answer is that we have only seen the immediate effects of Skull, all we can do now is wait. Wait to see how quickly Skull rockets its way into album of the year lists, album charts, metal prestige and how rapidly Evile ascend into world renowned headline status.
   Enter The Grave was the sound of a young and fresh band, Influenced by the kings of Thrash and ready to formulate their own sound. Infected Nations was the sound of a band that had began to explore their own potential, while ever pushing the boundaries set before them. Five Serpents Teeth however, was the sound of a band that had continued to terraform Trash-Metal, but had perhaps delved into their influences above the respectable threshold. Skull on the other hand, is the sound of a mature, established and ambitious band, eyes set on Musical supremacy and world domination.
   The pounding opener of, "Underworld", sets the tone perfectly for the next 45 minuets of your life. Thrash anthems, "Head Of The Demon" and "Words Of The Dead", offer the mosh pit fuel, while the spine pulverising, "Outsider", provides the physics defying speed. Evile certainly cannot be accused of lacking diversity within their releases. The monolithic, "Tomb" begins with  a chilling acoustic intro and a more gentle vocal style, before surging into barrages of melodic Thrash.  
   Cascading with deity destroying riffs, muscular vocals with remarkable variation, fusions of new and classic Thrash styles and of course, Evile's very own unique sound, Skull is destined for monumental success.

EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA

  EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA         The Thrash Metal hierarchy has long been constructed around the mainstream success of the American "Big Four", dwarfing their peers outside of the clique with their mass popularity and stratospheric record sales. Thanks to bands such as Exodus, Testament and Overkill, a revolution has begun. The most recent releases from those bands comprising the Big Four have been good at best, while the latest albums from these previously mentioned outsiders have been breathtakingly excellent.    Persona Non Grata is a crushingly heavy slab of solid Thrash Metal. Gary Holt and fellow guitarist Lee Altus whip up a veritable storm of crunchy, Thrashing, whiplash-inducing riffs from start to finish. A superhuman barrage of drum battery is unleashed by Tom Hunting, accompanied by Jack Gibson's booming, thundering and raking bass notes. All the while Steve Souza sings, screams and snarls like a rabid and possessed vocal maestro....

MASSACRE: RESURGENCE

  MASSACRE: RESURGENCE      Like the walking dead, Massacre just keep coming back time after time. Refusing to stay down, this band simply won't die. To survive, Massacre takes on a new form every ascension, this time they have re-emerged as the Kam Lee band, with the legendary vocalist being the most consistent and regular member of the band over the years and through the numerous reformations.   The Massacre that we are faced with here on Resurgence could be considered as something of a Death-Metal supergroup. Comprising the band alongside Kam Lee; we have Mike Borders on bass guitar whom was previously a member of the band for short spell in the mid 1980's, alongside Jonny Pettersson of Wombbath (and countless other bands and projects) and Rogga Johansson of Paganizer (and possibly even more bands and projects than Jonny) on guitars, Brynjar Helgetun on drums, and Memoriam's resident riff-lord Scott Fairfax providing lead guitar. United this band of talented ...

NO NONSENSE METAL REVIEWS: THE TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2021

  NO NONSENSE METAL REVIEWS: THE TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2021     Despite lockdowns, travel restrictions and the cancellation of normality as a result of an ever present global pandemic, 2021 has been a very healthy year for heavy music. With the cancellation and indefinite postponement of tours, festivals and live music in general, bands and artists have been forced to explore alternative avenues and express their artistic visions and passions in other ways. The down time away from the road has left bands with schedules empty enough to write and record new material, some of which has proven to be exceptionally strong new albums, EPs and compilations. The phenomena of the "lockdown live album" as well as live streaming events and virtual concerts have also become a commonplace staple in many band's discography, showing defiantly that COVID-19 and the consequent restrictions enforced will never suffocate the breath of creativity or shroud the light of the soul. Making the be...
