Heathen - 2005 Demo

This is pure thrash metal! - 97%

MorbidAtheist666, September 23rd, 2005

This demo is pure thrash metal! The sound production on this demo is top notch. Heathen has put together some really good songs. Heathen is one of the only true thrash metal bands out there that still sound thrashy. Every aspect of this demo is awesome. The guitar work, the vocals, the bass work and the drums are extremely impressive.

Empty Nothingness is a great song. It starts off the demo quite nicely. The bass sounds really good at the 2:52 mark of this song. The guitar solo sounds really good as well. Dying Season is another good song. It has a pretty interesting intro. The vocals are great on this song. There are two guitar solos on this one. The first one starting at around the 3:27 mark is the best one. It's short and sweet guitar solo. The final song, Arrows of Agony is a really pounding thrash metal song with really good guitar work and good vocals. None of these songs sound like shit at all.

Every song on here is what you would expect from Heathen. A lot of great guitar work is found on this demo. This demo is not a let down. This is without a doubt the best newest material from an old thrash metal band. It's rare that old thrash metal bands actually put something out that sounds like thrash metal these days. This is pure thrash metal and thrash metal fans will not be disappointed with this demo. Heathen fans will be happy to know that they didn't change their sound on this demo. It really does sound like it would be from 1991. If this demo sounds really great, I'm sure the new Heathen album will sound just as good as this or better.
