It applies to these guys for sure.Metal Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400759786407810475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-13615410017581423502009-08-06T08:41:22.711-07:002009-08-06T08:41:22.711-07:00listen, I'd rather here music that sounds good...listen, I'd rather here music that sounds good but like it's been done than metalcore or slipknot poser bullshit. Doesn't matter if it aint new. I have a saying or code I live by. "it doesn't matter if you play a genre that was already made, than all you can do is play it better." that's my modo. I don't have to really invent something new, but it has to be good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-14162566652780886642008-05-23T14:02:00.000-07:002008-05-23T14:02:00.000-07:00it sounds like possessed.

It's a decent album, but my expectations after their debut were they that reach out a little, but they didn't. I gave the music as much focus as it deserved. The most accurate description I found for their music was to compare them to Slayer because that's the extent of this album. I still hope that these guys keep at it and branch out a little or else they will just be a footnote in what could be a very brief thrash revival.<BR/><BR/>anonymous (the second)-The person above is refering to my review at Rough Edge.

However, if...Rene-I understand what you are saying. However, if you are just going to everything that has been done then be a cover or tribute band. These guys are not either of those because they write their own, but for me there is no point in hearing something I already heard before. Some bands are making an attempt, but Merciless Death make it obvious that they want to look and sound like it's still 1984. The sound is not new because they really are not bringing anything new to the mix. Now I am still holidng out that someone will keep trying and do a great thrash album that is both inspired by the old style, but has some fresh angle as well. I liked the albums from Skeletonwitch and Fueled by fire last year. I am also holding out hope for the new Bonded by blood as well.Metal Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400759786407810475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-77399472988868904432008-05-01T09:15:00.000-07:002008-05-01T09:15:00.000-07:00This band is not looking for orginality.

Its started in the early 80s but its great that their are still young bands releasing great albums of pure old school speed/thrash. VIOLATOR, DISASTER, GAMA BOMB, WARBRINGER, DEKAPITATOR, WITCHBURNER, NOCTURNAL and a long etc...are releasing great old school albums that all metalheads should love. Its nice that in 2008 we can listen to new speed/thrash albums and we dont have to only listen to those old albums that we played 1000 times by now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-24232630080748303382008-04-21T15:28:00.000-07:002008-04-21T15:28:00.000-07:00by the way, how and where did you get your hands o...by the way, how and where did you get your hands on this promo. i know someone else has it but where do you guys get it from?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14207757650021682494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-90512124740451197012008-04-20T12:49:00.000-07:002008-04-20T12:49:00.000-07:00i heard some samples and i definitely like it. i k...i heard some samples and i definitely like it. i know its not original, but i'm big into old school thrash. thanks anyways.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14207757650021682494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13852175.post-13330176140010128032008-04-20T12:26:00.000-07:002008-04-20T12:26:00.000-07:00eli-Sorry, dude.
