They live...
Genre: thrash metal
The skullfaced Swedish quartet Dr. Livingdead are back with another madly thrashing crossover album in the form of the mighty "Radioactive Intervention".
Pretty much continuing where there debut album left off, "Radioactive Intervention" is an all out, slightly hardcore-informed thrash attack, featuring fierce riffage and fast drums. Retro to the bone, the album captures many of the things that made 80s thrash and crossover so awesome. There are plenty of nods to the likes of Slayer, Nuclear Assault, and Suicidal Tendencies - and the whole thing is spiced up by riot yells backing up the Mike Muir-esque vocals.
This is in no way innovative music, but Dr. Livingdead is not about being innovative anyway. Dr. Livingdead is all about thrash, and thrash they do on this album.
I fucking love this band, and no crossover collection would ever be complete without this album.
