I
was not in the best mood first time I threw this spanking new album by Reckless
Tide in my CD-player, and I must admit that I was only familiar with
a few tracks from this German band, (from their debut album, “Repent
or Seal Your Fate), so I only new them by name…. mostly.
But…
WOW… this is a full flash of power!!! Damn, I was totally knocked out
of my socks already when the guitar riffs began to blast out of my
speakers. My mood changed completely… now I was really interested to
get to know this album and this band better. We get 11 songs here on
“Helleraser” that don't take any prisoners… quite technical Thrash
Metal of the highest class in my humble opinion.
With
two singers; Andrew Troth (Shout Vocals) and Kjell Hallgreen (Melodic
Vocals, Growls and Screams) Reckless
Tide kicked my ass very seriously and I was completely stunned. –
Damn…this is great stuff!
Also
the guitarists here are excellent… and catapults great riffs into the
world in an unbelievable orgy… and take a listen to the rhythm section…
awesome!
Track
after track took me by surprise and the more I listen to it… the more
I like it. They just never lose their energy and give everything until
the end. This album is filled with “catchy” Thrash Metal, but
don’t worry…there is no wimping out here at any point.
I
have been listening to this album over and over for more than a week now
and each track just gets catchier and better to the point where you
can't decide which one your favourite is. You just want to listen to it
again and again. Even the production is awesome… crystal clear and it
suits the music fantastic. Heck… I even love the cover artwork.
So,
if you’re fan of Reckless Tide or
Thrash Metal in general… do yourself a favour and check this German
band out when this piece of splendid Metal hit the stores, October the
13th 2006!
