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

No Nonsense Metal  Top 10 Albums Of 2013!    2013 has proven to be a monumental year for extreme music. We have witnessed the return of some of the greatest pioneering acts Metal music has ever seen, as well as a succession of future legends solidifying their place within our realms. It is fair to say that 2013 holds some of the best Metal releases of all time, but within it also resides some of the most spectacular misfires ever to insult mortal eardrums. Focusing on the positive aspects of the years releases, here is a round up of 10 albums that 2013 shall truly be remembered for. Undoubtedly, this list of albums will (and should) be fairly predictable, reminding you of the incredible strides extreme music has made within the last year. However, it should also highlight just how much can change within a 365 day stretch, and just how much Metal music can terraform within that time. So lets hope 2014 lives up to the achievements of 2013. Bring on the...

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 Sab...
