SCARED TO DEATH-Deathstruction (2008)
Fresh & young band from Telsnach (Germany). Despite the album does not add absolutely nothing to the musical scene - nor probably to your musical experience - it represents a very enjoyable and battery-recharging listening. They move on the razor's edge separating traditional thrash metal and slow MDM, but without giving up too much to on any of the two sides. Percussions are a bit under the line, but the singer has a lovely growly scream and strings whip your ears in the right way. Track 7 is particularly nice and I warmly suggest it as a first listen.
NEURASTHENIA-Possessed (2007)
Again a fresh band at their first test. They're from Italy and propose again an hybrid MDM-thrash. The production/sound appear far from what you usually get for a "thrash" product. In particular the singer, who evidently is neither a growler nor a born screamer, may give some shiver down your spine of if you're a traditional metal-head. But it ain't that bad, when you get used. Also because the guitar work & the rhytms won't give you enough time to get bored and to think about that. Several passages may bring you back to Anthrax and Metallica...
CANNABIS CORPSE-Tube of the Resinated (2008)
I tell you: I got this one for the moniker! Too funny! Then I started appreciating it for the tunes. Clearly inspired to legendary Cannibal Corpse, this dudes from US bring us a death/thrash metal assault, clearly not for the ligh-hearthed. Serious growling and nitro-accellerations are fused in a devastating percussion structure twisted at the right angle. We are at the level of Brain Drill... just to mention the fastest thing you could quote in this musical framework. Yet, it's not only about speed or classical death. You could well put this product on the technical/death shelf too. So, fasten seat belts and have fun!
