’Dead Harvest’ is the second full length album by THIS ENDING and an album that I must say

I have mixed feelings about. It’s kinda funny... because I somehow enjoy listening to ‘Dead Harvest’, but it fails to grab my full attention. Nothing really sticks out in my humble opinion.

 

To me the band sounds like a mix of modern thrash, melodic death metal, thrash core, and then

throw in a few riffs that leads my mind back to BULLDOZER (remember them?) and early VOI VOD. The vocals are aggressive and rough... almost growls, so the band contain all the right ingredients to make it, but I’m still left a bit disappointed when the CD is done. Even after numerous listens.

 

Well... the CD certainly has its moments so it’s actually a shame it sounds a bit unfocused to me. I find myself doing other things such as; Doing the laundry or watching TV while listening to ‘Dead Harvest’.

 

Maybe I’m being too negative here, so check this band and album out if you’re into thrash/death metal and be your own judge.
