UMUR
"Welcome to Our World" is the debut full-length studio album by German thrash metal act Subcutane. The album was independently released in 1995. Subcutane formed in 1993 and released three albums and an EP before disbanding in 2008.

The album features a thrash metal style which has elements from both US power metal and technical thrash metal. The bass playing is for example pretty technical and the same can be said about some of the riffs and the drumming. "Welcome to Our World" is a bit hard to describe though, as one moment technical thrash metal is a valid description, the next progressive metal, and the next power/thrash metal is more appropriate, but the truth is somewhere in between. Lead vocalist Heiko Sudars has a rough voice and and relatively raw delivery, but he also occasionally sings more melodic and clean.

It´s obvious that the band are pretty skilled musicians who are capable of playing, but for the most part the material aren´t that memorable, and the sound production also lacks some punch, which maybe could have helped the material to shine a bit more. Upon conclusion "Welcome to Our World" isn´t one of those forgotten technical thrash metal gems, that one can sometimes discover, but it´s worth a listen or two for those who enjoy the borderlands between thrash, power, and progressive metal. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
