Fastkill. Well that certainly says it all, doesn't it?
The Japanese are all insane. And I love it. Unlike most of the senile cruise-speed fodder that is being labeled as thrash anymore, this is 900-mph, kick you in the throat and steal your beer thrash. Often when I sit down and just want to listen to something that thrashes hard, I find myself going for this quite a bit.
The production is so gritty. The vocalist screams like an absolutely lunatic and it sounds like his voice is going go at any moment. Death-tinged thrash riffs come quick, strike with force, and exit. 27 minutes, and not a one is spent going at any remotely slow pace. The back up gang vocals reveal an amusing Japanese accent. No complaint there, it helps it stand apart from all the American and German thrash most are accustomed to.
There isn't a huge variety here, the music relies on being aggressive and solid intense riffs. The lyrics are typical and from what I can tell, not exactly grammatically impeccable. Big surprise, huh?
Like the album, I'm going to keep this review short. If you're not looking for anything groundbreaking, and just want an incredibly intense thrash album to pummel you into the ground, check this album out.
