chemical warheads

a new band hailing from chile. nothing new here, but this is no reason to call it quits. and i guess they won't. there are some interesting moments, not too many but there are, that might invite you to give a second spin to this stuff. i did.

and let's not forget: they're freshies. give'em time. and the music is for free. respect!

illogicist - polymorphysm of death

happy new METAL year!

first catch of the day, tech DM of the highest rank (for me). dunno, there are people that don't dig such kind of stuff. i for one go nuts when hearing it. i guess it depends on the ears this stuff falls. as for mine, the left one is already having an orgasm, after just the first riff of the first track...

slow death factory - from the gutter to your ears

i'll start saying this: some moments on this album are plain insane (the one that got me most is on "too weird to live too rare to die", 2'55'' - 4'13'').

groovey DM act, coming at you with a vengeance (actually, the story of the band is that of a revenge, having as arch enemy the frontman of illdisposed). glad they did it, coz i like what i hear. course, for some "trv" metalheads, this is not ok. well, it's more than ok for me. keep spinning it for a while now. and i happen to think that a spin of such kind of albums will do no harm...

2. Too Weird to Live, too Rare to Die

6. Underdog in Losertown

insidia - guarda dentro te

forgotten thrash act. probably also because they sang in their native language. but this shouldn't be an obstacle, should it?

in the vein of the classic bay area stuff, the Italians provide a decent slab of thrash on this album. the album was released in the period of the thrash demise, so it went into oblivion relatively fast. but IMHO it shouldn't stay that way. so, here we go.

oh, and MAXIMUM RESPECT!

abysmalia - quod human est

1. Nihil est ab Omni Parte Beatum 00:42
2. Wolves among Wolves
3. Breach of Integrity (Argumentum ad Baculum)
4. Iniquity
5. An Epitome of Emptiness
6. The Great White Throne
7. Sons of Perdition

an interesting new thrash act. i'm a little bit bothered (to be frank from start) by the melodic passages, but luckily there aren't many.

good instrumentation, quality drumming, all modern stuff is here (for better or worse). man, i really hate these melodic choruses (just bumped into one in the track i'm listening). why do they keep coming?

the riffing is sufficiently intense and varies (this is a plus, of corpse), but in this regard, they sound like the other spearheads of the new school, all intensity, fury and determination. unlike some of them, they try to touch the technical realm, and mostly, they succeed (i got an annihilatorish/anacrusis vibe, similar to the one i got from these bands in their good times...).

my guess: we'll either hear from them big, or not at all...

laceration - realm of the unconscious

NWOTM by the book. with severe (in the good meaning of the term) influences from mighty bands, such as demolition hammer and vio-lence. thrash with fury, heart, balls and rage. and all other elements that make thrash the god that is.

RESPECT!



i know it's short, but trust me, it's intense!
