Great album from Polish band' SCEPTIC'. They play a style of technical deathmetal, with progressive elements (but not so much a chaotic brutal technical style such as necrophagist/suffocation/decapitated...),This album features great solos built upon complex structures. Hints of 'Cynic' here and there. Also features 'Nocturnus ' cover "Arctic Crypt", great cover of the nocturnus track, but without the keyboards which makes for an interesting listen aswell.

Interesting album from Polish band' SCEPTIC'. They play a form of intricate deathmetal, with some progressive elements (but not so much a chaotic brutal technical style such as necrophagist/suffocation/decapitated...), Compared to their earlier works, this album the 'Unbeliever's Script', tones down the technicality and the pace a bit. A unique blend of aggression, intricate riffs backed by tight drumming with very fluid cymbal accenting, melodic , great leads, soft tranquil elements aswell. Straightfoward yet intricate is a good way to describe this album of theirs. Not as intricate as the previous album, yet still good. Hints of 'Cynic' here and there. Nice complex drumming patterns, great riffs, straight to the point without loosing focus.

Awaiting the new Exodus album

I'm highly anticipating the next offering from veteran bay area thrashers 'Exodus'.
The upcoming album titled 'The Atrocity Exhibition: Exhibit A"' is part-one of a planned 2 part concept album series.

Guitarist Gary Holt is very confident and sure that this album will have a tremendous impact amongst fans of thrash metal. "It's going over huge with everyone I've talked to who's heard the record."
This time around Tim Hunting will be returning back to the drum throne in place of Paul Bostaph.

Technical THRASH/SPEED METAL
Download Here (56.66MB) 192kps
Unknown, often overlooked, old School intricate thrash metal band from Sweden. Great riffing, nice leads, rough vocals -not so much of the highpitch style vox found in some old thrash.
Basically this is an early band of Mike Wead's, known for his axe-skills in later mid period Candlemass, later era of Mercyful Fate, and currently playing in King Diamond.

I would recommend this to any fan of old thrash with a technical edge without sounding forced. Great riffs, impressive leads, aggressive speed axe attacks, and thrashing mid tempo metal grooves.

My favorite track on this album is 'Death Walks Among Us', total thrash assault, kicked off with blazing infernal leads from the black abyss!

* Produced by Leif Edling [Candlemass]
* The painting on the cover was later used on Morbid Angel's 'Blessed Are the Sick'
