Slayer - Payback 1/10
lololol i also hate my parents
Razor - Shotgun Justice 9.5/10
I never heard any Razor cuts post
Violent Restitution until
@TechnicalBarbarity posted this record a couple weeks ago or so. This embodies everything I love in B-Horror inspired thrash. RAWWW
Guided Cradle - Revenge of the Orcs 3/10
Meh. Beatdown vocal cadence like the slayer track. The break was entirely underwhelming as well.
Kronos - Monumental Carnage 4/10
The guitar tone is a bit off for what I'm assuming is supposed to be Brutal Death Metal. The technical flourishes are more tasteful than some bands, but I can't really reconcile with low register and the screech vocal combo. The breakdown was booooring for something that's supposed to get the people going.
Morlok VonGrimorog - Melekron 6/10
lolol I was sold when he dropped that football line. This was kinda fun, but not something I'd ever return to
Rosenfeld - Revenger 7.5/10
This kind of rips mane.
Rigor Mortis - Shroud of Gloom 9.5/10
Nuff said.
Paradox - Crusaders Revenge 6.5/10
This has been on my wishlist for an eternity. The riffs are on point, but I can't say I dig the vocals all that much.
Glacier - Vendetta 8/10
Galloping and rollicking! The vocalist is pretty meek in an endearing way. Def the best track off the EP
Zemial - For a Fallen One 6/10
True af hellenic BM. Always respected Zemial, but it never really connected.
Grand Magus - Silver into Steel 8/10
Ever only heard their debut, but this knocks. Definitely triumphant and I love the songs arch. Gonna have to pick this record up
Virgin Steele - Wings of Vengeance 7/10
Was this dude recording vocals around a maternity ward? W/E tho this was the better side of corny.
Cemetary - Scars 5/10
As
@CASSETTEISGOD said, it's great to break the monotony here. Unfortunately Cemetary can't spell for shit and is pretty milquetoast overall.
The Shadow Order - Strife For Revenge 8/10
Tin man production style. I enjoyed this for the most part
Aeternus - Sworn Revenge 9/10
Ahh brutality leading into that folky passage. Obviously amazing
Diamond Head - Am I Evil? 4/10
[TRIGGER WARNING] Really underwhelming when compared to their contemporaries. Everything Diamond Head were about was being out done on all fronts by superior bands.
Black Death - Retribution 8.5/10
Was only vaguely familiar with this band. Extremely crunchy for the time!
FYI I didn't submit a track this round, but figured I'd throw my thoughts into the mix
