Genre: thrash metal

Crucified Mortals' eponymous album from 2011 might be their debut album, but they had ten years of experience in the underground prior to that and several underground releases under their belt.

This experience shows itself clearly on the album which is hyper professional and lacks the naivety that otherwise characterizes many a debut album in the world of metal. Instead, the listener is treated to crushing death-thrash with a decidedly old school feel. The tempos range from crushing midtempo passages, some of which sound inspired by Anthrax, to fast blistering Slayer-esque madness with the occasional melodic interlude. Reflecting the experience of the band, all passages are performed with clockwork precision without it detracting from the fury and aggression of the music.

The production is of high quality, and the guitars are both well defined and brutal sounding, while the bass is nicely audible. Although I have no problems with lo fi production (as long as it is not too lo fi), I do appreciate the fact that Crucified Mortals have chosen to take the production seriously and aimed at making their album sound good on the stereo.

Any fan of thrash metal - especially the likes of Slayer and early 90s Sepultura should check out this massive thrash attack.
