Illusions

This is a riff delivered thrashing album, that's means that there are no breaks for some acoustic passages with clean pluckings or anything relaxing. That's a pure headbang journey with tons of piercing riffs and intense drumming at absolute breakneck speed. Yes, you can call it a 'Reign In Blood' clone, it's also clocking out at twenty nine minutes and contains ten tracks, so it's definitely not an original album. But anyway, if it isn't unique, it doesn't mean it's crap. You can feel the Slayerish influence pretty easily but it still manages to be a solid thrashing monster for it's short playing time.

It's a pretty technical stuff here, but it's still sounds too much one dimensional. There aren't enough tempo breaks or c-parts which makes it sound a bit varied, thus in first listenings it will sound for you like a blend of dull riffs. It took me three or four listenings before I really began to enjoy this album, but afterwhile it clicked and I could really feel the intensiveness within this album.

The vocals are really fast. They are nasty and harsh and the lyrics thrown out extremely fast so it will be almost impossible to follow it without the lyrics in front of you.

If you looking for an uncomplicated thrash album, there is no reason to skip this one. It isn't revolutionary or outstanding by any meaning, but it's still a good album.
