In the Name of the Father

This is the stuff that I would classify as death thrash. Not to be confused with thrash death like Dew-Scented, which is based more on thrash. That said, this is more based on death metal. Ok that out of the way, this is a wicked headbanging cd.

The singing reminds me a bit of Cryptopsy(whisper supremacy on), though just a bit. The guitars lay down some good riffs and there is a few good solos. The bass is lost though, as its mostly unnoticable. The drums are very apparent though, with lots of double bass through the verses & chorus and some blast beats thrown in. The cd opens with Holy Mask which is the death side of the band. God Damn You is up next, which is one the thrashier songs and is one of the best songs on the cd. This is a headbanger, from the opening UHHHH grunt to the riffs, though the song does tend to get a bit repeptitive by the end. The next couple songs are of the death metal variety and when you get to track 5, I Spit Black Bile On You, it has a very cool intro. I can't describe it really, but it just has a really cool evil sounding riff. The rest of the cd is mostly the same as the songs I've mentioned.

Overall some may feel this is death metal with no thrash at all. I feel as if some of the songs are thrashy and maybes its just because after listening to Immolation or Disavowed, this just isn't quite the same. Its probably up the listener to decide, but either way, its a good cd and whatever you call it, it will have you banging your head. Best tracks: God Damn You, I Spit Black Bile On You, Hate Scenario.
