SPREADING DREAD
“Sanatorium”

Not knowing any Czech I posted a note on some Czech site that I was looking for bands to interview and all of a sudden I heard from a band called Spreading Dread. A couple days later I sit here with their CD. Not knowing what to get I start listening to the CD. This wasn’t as bad as my worst case scenario predicted. Actually this is some pretty cool stuff. Spreading Dread could easily be described as thrash metal in the harder school. Think a Slayer that shits massive blocks of concrete instead of bricks and you get the toughness. They kinda remind me of that band Marco Aro fronts pre and post The Haunted (can’t remember the name though). There’s that same hard edge to this. This might not be the fastest thrash you’ll ever hear but it is heavy enough to last a lifetime. I feel enlightened. Anders Ekdahl
