“Tenses Collide”
(Xtreem Music)
I find it very interesting that we see more and more bands coming from the former Yugoslavian countries as well as from countries like Slovakia and Romania. Not that it makes them any special or lesser of a band but it just goes to show that metal is and will be alive forever. Judging by the art work (yeah, you shouldn’t judge an album by its art work but hey, who are we kidding) this could be an album in the veins of early Nuclear Assault or Whiplash. Oh, how I hope for that. That it is thrash metal there’s no doubt about. But perhaps not so much in the vein of Whiplash as in latter day Nuclear Assault. Not that I’m complaining. I like that era of Nuclear Assault too. This band is more thrash in the harder school than the Forbidden/Testament thrash that the bay area got known for. I give this two thumps up. Anders Ekdahl
