Blasphemous Creation-Shadows of Evil
(Independent, 2008)
This one really took me by surprise and I love every second of it. This Reno based band is a full throttle assault of evil and black metal infused thrash metal paced relentlessly and with killer riffs to spare. Vintage German thrash metal from the likes of Kreator or Destruction mixes with an early black metal edge giving the band a sound that isn't entirely all that dissimilar to a band like Nifelheim. It's fast and on the verge of collapsing which is a nice change because metal has certainly become much too safe. This is four guys giving 100% and playing some kick ass metal in the process, it's that simple.
The riffing while somewhat simple in nature, has a raw intensity that evokes the same feel as the early bands on the genre. The riffs are slightly melodic and very catchy reinforcing the old school nature but maintaining a fairly modern guitar tone as well. This is more so an old school flavored band more so than an old school sounding band if you get what I mean. Vocally the band reminds me of Abbath from Immortal and that is definitely a complement. The vocals are powerful and clear but have enough rasp to let you know that this is definitely black metal inspired music. The solos are pure Slayer worship and it fits the music perfectly. Sure there are out of key notes, but the band captures the magic of the Show No Mercy and Hell Awaits albums quite well. The band is a bit rough around the edges at times, but it only adds to the chaotic nature of the band so it is almost a positive aspect of the bands sound.
Fans of everything of the classic of the thrash genre like Kreator to Sodom and for those of you that like the genre filtered through an evil atmosphere, this is definitely a band to keep an eye on. The rapid fire approach is sure to strike a chord with all fans of whiplash inspiring metal. This is a raw and energetic 4 song slab of metal from a band that is certainly a welcome addition to the blackened thrash genre.
