Red White and Blood is the debut album from Generation Kill, a new supergroup featuring members of Exodus, M.O.D., Mortician, and many more. On this album, the listener will experience eleven tracks of fury-inducing crossover thrash metal that should greatly appeal to fans of the genre. Red White and Blood is a downright fun listen that has enough solid riffs to satisfy any fan of thrash metal or hardcore. This may not be a terribly unique or memorable effort, but it definitely satisfies my craving for groove-infested crossover pretty damn well.

Even though this is first and foremost a crossover-thrash album, Red White and Blood also features some traits that aren't necessarily representative of the genre like acoustic guitar portions, groove-metal riffs, and melodic leads. Generation Kill sticks to their guns on this album, but it's also diverse enough to remain interesting throughout the entire duration. I also find the humor-injected lyrics to be pretty interesting; while still dealing with very serious subject matter, Generation Kill manages to refrain from sounding 'too' serious by adding some funny lines every now and again.

As expected from a group of this caliber, the production and musicianship on Red White and Blood are both flawless. I can't say this is an album I'll be popping in too often in the future, but the quality is very high across the board and 3 - 3.5 stars are the least I can give. If you like crossover thrash with some outside influences, this should be an album worth your investment.
