SUICIDAL ANGELS - Sanctify The Darkness


I don't know what's going on these days, but there are enough Thrash albums coming my way, and plenty of them are very close to the style we were familiar back in the 80's. Suicidal Angels is one of them, and I am pretty proud since they are from my homeland as well. This is the second album of the band, released two years after their debut "Eternal Domination". The band is playing Thrash Metal, with influences from early Slayer, but also from Kreator and Possessed but all combined into a very personal style. The first thing one notices is the guitars, and the rhythm section which is, to put it mildly, asskicking. The songs are fast, somewhat oldfashioned, with slower headbanging parts and vocals more close to modern standards at times. There are no intros here, nor songs that could have been done in a better way. The production is as heavy as it should be, clear enough, but also giving an oldfashioned feeling to the music as well. If you are a Thrash fan, and you want an album that won't let you donw, then check them out, cause they really got what it takes.

9/10
