" California thrash upstarts Bonded By Blood (taking their moniker from the classic 1985 Exodus album of the same name) are one of the many bands benefitting from the (retro) thrash revival that is currently making waves in the international metal scene with bands such as Dekapitator, Evile and Municipal Waste. From the onset its clear that "Feed the Beast" is a high energy genre exercise that does little new. Its infectious enthusiasm and pumping grooves help making this album more than another trip down memory lane. The cuts on this album are quick, catchy and competently written. The band has their chops down but they do little but pay tribute to the legendary bands that truly innovated this particular genre. Bonded By Blood master their instruments well enough and it is not often that a band this young is able to sound this convincing. Bonded By Blood have delivered a fitting, no-frills tribute to their legendary and innovative thrash ancestors, yet they'll have to work into making the genre more their own on their next album. If they are able to write an album that puts their own mark on this genre, they'll be able to carve their own path within a subgenre that is currently being flooded by tribute bands. "Feed the Beast" was produced by Michael Rosen and his production work actually harkens back to the Fleming Rasmussen produced albums Metallica did when they were still relevant in any meaningful way. The comic book styled artwork was designed by Tom Martin of Lich King, which reminds a bit of the earlier work by Ed Repka. The track ‘Immortal Life' also appeared on Earache's 2008 "Thrashing Like a Maniac" compilation. If you can't get enough of the classic thrash sound of old, give this a listen. "

Feed The Beast’ is a good thrash metal album, played like it’s 1986 but recorded as it should be in 2008....
