Lots of Japanese bands have some Asian-flavors, but this is just…
Whatever…100% thrash is really not my thing.

“Any of our 241 readers…”
I thought it was less than 50. lol

Great band. Not just some throwback stuff like the American kids that just found out about Exodus

Your average thrash revival song. Not a bad song at all, just kinda bland, thrash by the numbers.

If these guys were playing live near me, I’d see them. If I had the chance to join a local thrash revival group, I totally would, but yeah. Anybody expecting something mindblowingly original should really look elsewhere besides the thrash revival movement.

Also Fastkill is a much much better japanese thrash band.

I guess you don’t expect a lot of originality from old-school thrash, but this sounds like most other thrash bands out there. It was alright… nothing new. I hope the sound is better on the actual album, though.

And that video was cheesy as fuck. Can we agree that the video concept of ’stand around in abandoned factory of some sort and make scary faces’ is officially completely played out?

Also played out… air raid sirens.

Not terrible. Not terribly original, with the 90 second intro and Anthrax style “group yell” chorus, but it’s hard to be original in this genre. But not bad.
