UNTIMELY DEMISE ”City of Steel”

Self Released – 2011 – Canada

Here comes another kind of combination, in a unique way, this band managed to compose the classic head-banging thrash metal riffing, while jumping into the realm of melodic death metal. Riff handing over another riff, this album music pieces deliver a massive rush into the mind of the listener, like solid steel hitting the nerves of your neck to the non stoppable banging engine.

Let’s not talk about the album art that much, once you take a look at it, you will have that feeling of a great classical thrash metal album.

Musically; the guitars influenced between old school thrash and modern melodic death is indeed something you can’t leave unnoticed, joining riffs after riff of solid head banging materials and enjoyable lines.
Drums are executed brutally, and technically good, bass is fine too.
Finally the vocals that remind you of “Sodom” and “Destruction” combined with some high-pitch vocal style.

Finally this album worth a listen, but I don’t expect this to be a good selling album.
Indeed these 32 minutes of your life that you will never regret, but no remarkable riff or solo where found here.
As a band that yet to understand the real deal, this album is killer.
But compared to the international acts they still have a hard way ahead.

I personally recommended this album to any thrasher world wide, it’s a great experience you will have through these 32 minutes.
And I wish this band the great success they deserve.

7/10
