" If at any point the thought had crossed your mind that the tsunami of thrash releases that swept 2007/08 was over and done with....forget about it!
" Los Angeles-based upstarts, Warbringer, certainly have the act nailed, right down to the Cold War-inspired obsession that their predecessors had with the many nasty faces of armed global conflict. Musically there's little separating them from the list of usual suspects either; "Total War" kicks off with duelling solos that aren't a million miles away from those you may recall drunkenly air-guitaring to on _Darkness Descends_. "Systematic Genocide" meanwhile lures us in with a hulking groove that actively recalls any of Exodus' vintage material, and on "At the Crack of Doom" we're treated to what used to be an almost obligatory piece of acoustic noodling "
" John Kevill sounds like a mix between a young Tom Araya and a young Mille Petrozza. His scream in “Born of the Ranks” made me immediately think of Hell Awaits. Adam Carroll and John Laux make a hell of a guitar duo. They have great chemistry as they play off each other, throwing riffs and solos at each other with reckless abandonment....the production is a bit of a throwback..but if you are looking for a new band playing the old way....Look no further !
The Old Code !.........United!..........Get It!
I remember when I downloaded this bands EP thing, I added em on myspace right away.
ReplyDeleteAnd I was in the city in my favorite CD/record store....and this CD was in the corner of my eye and I instantly recognised it, bought it straight up, and easily a favorite album for this year!
I saw this band live last week. They're one of the few bands I've heard that sound better live than the album. Top notch.
