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....

No Nonsense Metal: Top 10 Albums Of 2013!

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...
