What can I say about Crisix than that I love this band. I think one of the best things is that you can't compare it with regular new Thrash bands.
As I said before I really enjoyed their first full lenght The Menace. Unfortunately it doesn't exist on vinyl. Only CD!
Now two years later, the second long player is released and he doesn't hide from his successor. Especially the songs I.Y.F.F, Rise ...Then Rest, Bring 'Em To The Pit, Volcano Face and Waldi Gang have done it to me. They couldn't reach for a better end than with Waldi Gang. Absolutly genious! And the best of all for me, they bring it out on a vinyl press. Isn't that cool for a vinyl freak like me?! ;) Their awesome songwriting mark up this band the most in my opinion. It won't be lazy at no time and you get definitely a smile on your face on every single song. At least I get one. :)
Get your own thoughts about it and check the tracks below.
To me definitely one of the highlights in 2013. And I hope to see these guys live soon here around because they should act like gone wild animals. Maybe together with their now more pupular countrymen Angelus Apatrida?! That would be killer!!
So for me Rise ...Then Rest deserve a killer 9,5/10!! -0,5 because I think this record is not for permanent listenings. Its so special and more for Thrash gourmets. Like a very good scotch you know?! The more you taste the more you don't be surprised how good it tastes actually ;)
Check out Crisixif you haven't already and get a copy of this great record!!

So where should I start when it comes to a new Evile record?? I'm a hardcore fan of this band since 2007. I saw them a couple of times live and met all of 'em to one of the nicest dudes you could hang around with. I've collected everything from Enter The Grave I could find. Promo stuff, Test Pressings, Missprints and of course all the regular stuff. In my opinion Enter The Grave is still the best new Thrash record around!
So it's really not surprising that I was a bit disappointed about IN and FST. But I must say that the sound of FST blew me away. I was really excited when I heard that they will put out a new record this summer. What should I expect from the new release after IN and FST? Same producer, same studio, I think similarprocedures. Honestly I really didn't expect very much if you look at killer releases by bands such as Lost Society, Dust Bolt, Eradikator, Lich King, Angelus Apatrida, Havok... (the list goes on)
But someone should teach me better again...
When I first heard Underworld from Skull I knew this album will be killer and I surely wanted to grab the ulta limited red vinyl version. The best thing I think on this record is Matt's singing. I always thought that he act to monoton but on Skull, man it's just killer! I really love the work and I think it pushs the album to another level. The sound is also amaizing and I think everybody increase if I say we don't have to talk about the individual quality of the members.
But I also have to repeat that in my opinion, it is definitely time for e new producer. I don't like these echo effects which came into the picture by producing the records with Russ. I like the raw power in Matts voice like in the beginning of "Eternal Empire" from FST. Or check out the new song "Outsider". I mean the screams, that's what I am talking about!
So in fact of that and in fact that I really can not do very much with the cover artwork (I am sorry but I love more catchy stuff like Ed Repka, Bouzikov) Skull gets an awesome 9,5/10 from me also because of Matt's great work.
Check out the tunes below and the bands facebook page, get yourself a copy of this fenomenal album and mosh to the masters!

...so if maybe some of you has noticed, it was quiet the last couple weeks here. The reason is not because I'm no any longer a Thrash Metal Maniac but I spent a bit of money for Scotch & Bourbon, so there was nothing left for any New Thrash Records. :))
But as you can see I got my new Evile & Cisix vinyl and it still goes on. So keep up the horns and enjoy the great weather outside (at least the german fux!! ;))
DOImI
The new masterpiece of spanish Thrashers Crisix is here!!! So a long wait has come to an end. I was totally impressed by their first press "The Menace". There is no more to say than ULTRA FUCKIN THRASH!!
