Dragonlord - Rapture


Genre: Symph. Black/Thrash
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2001


1. Vals De La Muerte
2. Unholyvoid
3. Tradition And Fire
4. Born To Darkness
5. Judgement Failed
6. Wolfhunt
7. Spirits In The Mist
8. Rapture






Debut album by Dragonlord, a black metal side-project of Eric Peterson (Testament), Steve DiGiorgio (Death, Sadus, etc.), Steve Smyth (Nevermore, Vicious Rumors, etc.) and Jon Allen (Sadus, Testament, etc.). Imagine Cradle Of Filth with a more thrashy edge. The riffs are typical brilliant thrash riff from Peterson with the keyboards and the singing giving it that black metal feel (even a few blast beats).

Witheria - Vanishing Order


Genre: Thrash/Black/Death
Country: Finland
Year: 2011

1. A.T.D.B.T.S.
2. Obscene Desecrator
3. The Abyss Within
4. The Final Hour
5. The Nameless Beast
6. Perished In Torment
7. Bringer Of Chaos
8. Fire In Black
9. Timeless






3rd album by Witheria, a thrash band in theory, but with a lot of black metal influence and some death metal touches too, which gives them a very aggressive vocal sound. Razor sharp guitars and devastating blastbeats are fired mercilessly and make delightful wrought-up impression. The combination of old-school death metal with a touch of grindcore and accent on thrash that Witheria revealed on the previous works are again fully present and in general the album pounds its way through delightfully.

Bloodride - Crowned In Hell


Genre: Thrash
Country: Finland
Year: 2011

1. There Will Be Blood
2. March Of The Dead
3. Straight From Hell
4. Slave Of Evil
5. Cain
6. Demon’s Way
7. God
8. Promised
9. Thrown Into Darkness (Unholy War)





Debut album by Bloodride. It is not a revelation or anything of the sort, it’s just a good, honest album that throws some purebred old-school thrash straight at your face for just over 30 mins. The band is great musically and the songwriting is frenetic and done very well, but the ace in the deck here would have to be vocalist Jyka Leskinen who has a voice that is a cross between eighties thrash and old-school death metal.

Vermin - Millenium Ride


Genre: Death'n'Roll
Country: Sweden
Year: 1998


1. Hungerface
2. Circle Of time
3. Upright Infinity
4. Demonsoul
5. Bloodlust
6. Everlasting
7. Black
8. Deviltrip
9. Broken
10. Species




2nd album by Vermin, a band that started playing death metal and later moved into more death'n'roll levels, like Entombed and others. This record is nothing groundbreaking, but it can be entertaining for some listenings.

Darkthrone - Soulside Journey

Genre: Death
Country: Norway
Year: 1991

1. Cromlech
2. Sunrise Over Locus Mortis
3. Soulside Journey
4. Accumulation Of Generalization
5. Neptune Towers
6. Sempiternal Sepulchrality
7. Grave With A View
8. Iconoclasm Sweeps Cappadocia
9. Nor The Silent Whispers
10. The Watchtower
11. Eon




Debut album by Darkthrone. There’s no cold or harsh atmosphere to be found here and the musicianship is highly complexed and technical, which is the complete opposite of the way the later Darkthrone albums would sound.  The sound on this album sounds very Swedish, much similar to early Entombed, Grave, Unleashed and Dismember.
