│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I am going to start this review by saying this ║ │
│║ is one of the best albums that i had the chance ║ │
│║ to listen to. Spain has given us a lot of ║ │
│║ awesome thrash bands in the past few years like ║ │
│║ Angelus Apatrida or Aggression, but i think that ║ │
│║ the ultra thrashers from Crisix are by far the ║ │
│║ most interesting. Their debut album, The ║ │
│║ Menance, it's one of the best releases of a new ║ │
│║ wave of thrash band. It's full of anger, heavy ║ │
│║ and aggressive and pretty hard to compare it to ║ │
│║ other old-school releases. You can still hear ║ │
│║ some Testament or Kreator influences here and ║ │
│║ there. It's an experience you will surely enjoy ║ │
│║ even if you're not really into the new wave of ║ │
│║ thrash. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ First of all, the production. You rarely see a ║ │
│║ new band with a debut album mixed so good. It's ║ │
│║ like they've been doing albums since the 80's. ║ │
│║ The guitars fit perfectly in their musical ║ │
│║ style. Not too low, but heavy enough and very, ║ │
│║ very tight. No mistakes, no missed notes and ║ │
│║ awesome solos. Busi and Albert are a great ║ │
│║ guitar duo. The bass is very well mixed, not too ║ │
│║ loud but not non-existent. It has a couple of ║ │
│║ highlights, like in Brutal Gadget. The drummer ║ │
│║ is a monster and you can hear this in every song ║ │
│║ on this album. Many people over the internet ║ │
│║ were complaining about the vocals. I agree that ║ │
│║ the vocals are not the best, but are quite ║ │
│║ unique and they really fit this band. Even if ║ │
│║ the album is mostly build on harsh vocals, you ║ │
│║ can hear a soft part of them on The Last Monkey. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Another thing i love at this band is that they ║ │
│║ know how to have fun. Some of their lyrics are ║ │
│║ pretty fun and entertaining. For example, Brutal ║ │
│║ Gadget (a song about "The Mask") "They call me ║ │
│║ Cuban Pete/I'm the king of the rumba beat/When i ║ │
│║ play my maracas i go chimchikibum chimchikubum. ║ │
│║ AZUCAR!" or Internal Pollution: "This is the ║ │
│║ army of barrel and vice. Alcoholic supporters ║ │
│║ from hell!". Well, you get the idea. They also ║ │
│║ have more serious lyrics. Not the best lyrics, ║ │
│║ but they express pretty good what they had to ║ │
│║ say, for example Holy Punishment or Mummified by ║ │
│║ Society. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Every song on this album is worth to be checked ║ │
│║ out, but my personal highlights from this album ║ │
│║ are Brutal Gadget, Electric Possession, Ultra ║ │
│║ Thrash and Mummified by Society. An awesome ║ │
│║ album, awesome mixing, awesome musicians of an ║ │
│║ awesome band! You should check them out if you ║ │
│║ enjoy quality thrash metal of our era. ║ │
