│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Italian metalheads Reapers have been hit by bad ║ │
│║ luck. Shortly before they wanted to release ║ │
│║ their second CD World In Chains on Deadsun ║ │
│║ Records, who also took charge of their debut ║ │
│║ Metalness, the band was dropped from their ║ │
│║ label. As the recordings and mastering were ║ │
│║ already done, the band decided to take the more ║ │
│║ tedious way of releasing it by themselves. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The four members of Reapers play traditional ║ │
│║ metal of the slightly heavier kind. The basics ║ │
│║ of most songs consist of crunchy thrash riffs, ║ │
│║ with James Hetfield having them inspired more ║ │
│║ than a little in the vocal department. This can ║ │
│║ be heard immediately on the opener Anywhere But ║ │
│║ Here, a track which is not only rather fast and ║ │
│║ straight forward, but also sports a dirty ║ │
│║ production as was the fashion twenty years ago. ║ │
│║ Unfortunately, this song is already the ║ │
│║ highlight of the album, even though the guitar ║ │
│║ solo is already a little too much for me. Half ║ │
│║ of the songs are traditional thrash metal, ║ │
│║ although never as convincing as performed by the ║ │
│║ classic and even some contemporary bands. ║ │
│║ Sometimes it seems as if Reapers have problems ║ │
│║ getting started or add unnecessary parts to ║ │
│║ their music. Cut This Head for instance needs ║ │
│║ two entire minutes for the vocals kicking in, ║ │
│║ making its start sound like the pseudo-metallic ║ │
│║ entrance themes of certain professional ║ │
│║ wrestlers. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ There is also a softer side to Reapers where ║ │
│║ they are more technical than on their thrash ║ │
│║ material, although they sound awkward at that ║ │
│║ too. The rather unusual structures paired with ║ │
│║ the soft vocals would fit better a Steve Vai ║ │
│║ than a thrash band. All in all, their thrash as ║ │
│║ well as their softer side are too enamoured with ║ │
│║ their guitar skills, which after a certain time ║ │
│║ can become quite unnerving. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ As of now, the band is looking for a new label ║ │
│║ and a new guitarist. The former will be a lot ║ │
│║ harder than the latter, because Reapers might ║ │
│║ have to develop a more aggressive sound to ║ │
│║ gather more acceptance from the metal community. ║ │
