Expulsion: Nightmare Future

EXPULSION: NIGHTMARE FUTURE

   Expulsion are basically the embodiment of nostalgia. Featuring members of Grind and Gore legends, Repulsion and Exhumed, Expulsion play old-school late 1980's style Grindcore in spectacular style. However, let's make one thing clear, regardless of the fact that this band is probably the product of alcohol fueled musicians reminiscing about the golden era of Grind, Expulsion's debut release, Nightmare Future, is an mind-melting masterpiece. 
   Totaling a very modest 14 minutes running time, Nightmare Future is a short, sharp shock of pure old-school brilliance. Unsurprisingly, the apple has not fallen far from the tree, there are no weird and wild reinventions here, this is just pure Horrified tribute, mixed with a generous helping of classic Death worship, which is to be expected considering the pedigree of the band. 
   Kicking off the album, "Total Human Genocide" whips up a frenzy with all the insane speed, over-driven bass, blast-beats and frantic riffing that you could possibly desire, in a way that would give even, From Enslavement To Obliteration a run for it's money. There is definitely something for everyone here, which just goes to show that these guys are not one-trick ponies. "Alter Of Slaughter" showcases the undeniable Death-Metal influence, with solid hails to Scream Bloody Gore, while the title track, "Nightmare Future", has a distinct punk undertone, reminiscent of the style that, Phobia have perfected over the years. "Funeral Bells" thrashes into view with all the grit and speed of the glory days and does so in a savage yet catchy way, but fear not, because even the tracks with a more dynamic sound are still stuffed full of filthy Grind. 
   Overall, Nightmare Future is a merciless, well produced and charismatic album, keeping the old-school fire alive and breathing. After a few listens, you can't help but wish the album was a few tracks longer, but that aside, this album is guaranteed to satisfy the tastes of most fans of extreme music, and leave you ravenously hungry for more.

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!    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.

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...
