Evile - Skull 9,5/10

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 similar procedures. 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.

Bludvera - Terrorform

Eradikator - Dystopia 10/10

As some of you know or might not know, I'm a really huge fan of the N.W.O.T.M.-Scene especially of the UK Thrash since back in 2007 like bands such as Warpath, Mutant, Gama Bomb, SSS, Pitful Reign, Savage Messiah and so on. But it all started with Evile's Enter the Grave...

The cover of Dystopia from Eradikator reminds me a bit of previous named LP.

So how does it come that I never heard of this band before? This is unforgivable!! Dystopia is a smooth 10 of 10. This album is killer man!! Great sound produced by their own and mixed and mastered by Ajeet Gill with Andy MacNevin  at Hellfire Studios, Birmingham UK.
All songs has the feelings of 80s Metallica, the dynamic of early Megadeth. Pat act like a mangy mutt on the mike. Sounds like dunkin' Hetfield back in the 80s.
All leads were such high quality. No wonder if you look at their influences (Kirk Hammett, Marty Friedman, Jimmy Hendrix, Slash to name only the most important).

What I like the most on this record besides these great heavy and ingenious riffs, the perfect fitting drums and the mighty leads is the fact that the more you hear it, the more you get sucked into it. It gets boring at NO time!

I really enjoy the end of the album because it is fully instrumental and Odysseus is one of the best songs ever were written for me. It is melancholy, sensitive, slow, fast and simultaneously so heavy though. Words can not even describe again. ;) 

So you have to have a listen and spread the word like a fuckin' virus ERADIKATOR!
