│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I just became familiar with this London based ║ │
│║ band upon my acquisition of this album and I ║ │
│║ must say I'm interested in hearing their other ║ │
│║ material. These guys play a melodic thrash that ║ │
│║ reminds me of USPM (United States Power Metal) ║ │
│║ on occasions. Founded in 2007 by ║ │
│║ guitarist/vocalist Dave Silver after the break ║ │
│║ up of his previous band Headless Cross. Hey, ║ │
│║ with a band name like that you kinda know where ║ │
│║ this guy's influences lie, right? Anyway, this ║ │
│║ is their fourth full length album and I must say ║ │
│║ I'm happy I picked this up. This is nothing ║ │
│║ innovative or new here, just a very entertaining ║ │
│║ slice of metal. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Upon first hearing the opening track ║ │
│║ "Iconocaust", I'm hearing a nice melodic intro ║ │
│║ that segues right into some good thrash riffing. ║ │
│║ This mixture of melody and thrash riffing is ║ │
│║ done really well here. The vocalist reminds me ║ │
│║ of a lot of people, but mostly Jonny Lindqvist ║ │
│║ from Nocturnal Rites. The song is a rocking mid ║ │
│║ paced thrasher with riffs that reminds me of ║ │
│║ Practice What Your Preach era Testament in parts ║ │
│║ with a catchy chorus and some killer lead solos. ║ │
│║ And it doesn't stop there. Songs like "Minority ║ │
│║ of One", "Hellblazer", "Scavengers of Mercy", ║ │
│║ and "The Cursed Earth" are thrashy but with ║ │
│║ enough melody to really make me think this was a ║ │
│║ USPM band. Not balls out thrash but speedy and ║ │
│║ crunchy with massive solos. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Then you have songs like "Cross of Babylon" and ║ │
│║ "Hammered Down" that just kick you in the teeth ║ │
│║ with full on thrash riffing....fast and ║ │
│║ aggressive that once again remind me of ║ │
│║ Testament. The guitar work, again, is the ║ │
│║ shining star here on this album with blazing ║ │
│║ solos that are done right without too much flash ║ │
│║ but with technical brilliance. The band does ║ │
│║ slow it down for a ballad of sorts called "Live ║ │
│║ as One Already Dead" that isn't that bad but ║ │
│║ nothing special. As for metal ballads, there ║ │
│║ have been better. Then there are songs like the ║ │
│║ title track and "Zero Hour" that are traditional ║ │
│║ metal songs with riff heavy and even some ║ │
│║ galloping rhythms mixed in with catchy choruses ║ │
│║ and godly solos. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ So in the end, this is a band that can make an ║ │
│║ album with a variety of songs and do it with ║ │
│║ style and talent. I'm instantly a fan of this ║ │
│║ band and of this album. If their previous ║ │
│║ releases are this good, I will be very happy to ║ │
│║ have found this band. These guys are really good ║ │
│║ and this album is an enjoyable listen. ║ │
