Ahead of the release of More Insane on October 4th, Undeath will headline a US tour with Kruelty, Gates To Hell, plus rotating openers Tribal Gaze and Torture.
Ridiculously rhythmic throb full of great songs and boiled over energy surge. The innerlocked double drummers and meshed guitars work like a big pumping heart.
Tokyo’s Grief of War barely make the grade. They sound too complacent to rub elbows with thrash metal revival bands as goods as Evile and Municipal Waste.
That amazing voice is female. Laura Nichols, she’s got the goods. The fretboard-hopping fills and singing leads are classy. The drummer is a freakin’ beast.
I have a soft-spot for some of this. Not an ironic, winking love, I mean I like and respect it, goofy or not. But Wolf is more Hammerfall than Sonata Arctica.
A mixture of clean and screaming vocals, chugga-chugga breakdowns, and In Flames rip-off riffs. But Burn In Silence add something unique: Symphonic keyboards.
Weened at the nips of San Francisco thrash and NY crossover, and raised through the hardcore gladiator school, Himsa heaves up fully articulated metalcore.
Much like metalcore leaders Lamb Of God. Production is massive, as are the vocals, with the guitars and bass smeared together by perpetually slammed cymbals.
