█ The debut full-length from Chilean thrashers █
█ Dangerous effectively places them right at the █
█ forefront of the retro-thrash revival scene here █
█ with this blistering assault of old-school thrash. █
█ ThereÆs no real surprises here as this here is █
█ essentially Bay-Area thrash circa 1989, meaning █
█ this one plays with all the usual toys in that █
█ playbook but manages to execute them so █
█ effectively and enjoyably that thereÆs hardly █
█ anything at all wrong here beyond that straight-up █
█ rip from that style. Taking tight, crunchy █
█ riff-work and thunderous drumming along with █
█ frantic, intense arrangements offering forth █
█ plenty of speed and driving energy that allows for █
█ plenty of stellar rhythms and full-on thrashing █
█ straight from that school of metal. The █
█ hard-hitting drumming keeps things running along █
█ the intense paces driven by these strong rhythms, █
█ and the whole affair is made all the more engaging █
█ here with that type of infectious old-school █
█ attitude running throughout the tracks here. Even █
█ the strong production style here makes this quite █
█ a fine retro-sounding affair with the up-front █
█ guitars and noodling bass-lines while the pounding █
█ drums batter away in the background. ItÆs just the █
█ fact that this one is so overly familiar and takes █
█ straight from the past without changing it that █
█ holds it back. █
█ ThereÆs a great sense of whatÆs on display here █
█ through the first half. The opening instrumental █
█ æIntroÆ uses howling winds and a light, trinkling █
█ guitar riff offering melancholy atmospheres that █
█ slowly work their way into proper first track as █
█ the title track features explosive riff-work, █
█ raging rhythms and pounding drumming that utterly █
█ blasts through tight, frantic tempos carrying █
█ schizophrenic and intense patterns along through █
█ the solo section as the urgent, intense paces █
█ continue through the finale to make an explosive █
█ first impression. æVictims of HateÆ features █
█ tight, raging rhythms scorching alongside the █
█ thumping lead-work thumping along to the charging, █
█ energetic mid-section work with plenty of pounding █
█ drum-work bringing the tight riffing and up-tempo █
█ paces racing through the frantic solo section in █
█ the final half for another overall enjoyable █
█ highlight. æThrash on the StreetsÆ uses a strong █
█ retro-style intro with utterly explosive frantic █
█ riff-work and thunderous, pounding drumming █
█ complete with intense riff-work and rather frantic █
█ drumming with scorching melodic work through the █
█ dynamic solo section into the crunchy charge of █
█ the finale for a truly frantic highlight offering █
█ here. æMurderous TraditionÆ features a steady █
█ build-up intro into a plodding mid-tempo pace with █
█ the explosive, tight riffing and thunderous █
█ drumming carrying along nicely through the frantic █
█ rhythms and driving intense riff-work featured █
█ throughout the charging and intense rhythms in the █
█ solo section bristling through the final half for █
█ a nice energetic thrasher. █
█ The final half here makes for a solid, cohesive █
█ whole here. æSacrificeÆ brings a tight, charging █
█ series of thumping riffing and steady drum-work █
█ along a fine mid-tempo gallop that continually █
█ brings the stylish rhythms along through the █
█ steady thrashing rhythms with the fine thumping █
█ energy throughout the stylish thumping in the solo █
█ section and on through the charging finale which █
█ makes this a slightly lower but still enjoyable █
█ effort. æDanger's ReturnÆ features a blaring █
█ air-raid siren leading into tight, frantic riffing █
█ through blazing up-tempo rhythms featuring frantic █
█ drum-blasts and surging riffs thrashing along the █
█ steady mid-tempo pace full of buzzing rhythm █
█ patterns with plenty of crunchy patterns pounding █
█ into the solo section final half for another truly █
█ enjoyable offering. æBatalla FinalÆ takes █
█ thrashing up-tempo riffing and pounding drumming █
█ along through a frantic mid-tempo gallop full of █
█ tight buzzing rhythms and simple patterns that █
█ race along through the enjoyable up-tempo pace █
█ through the solo section and though the charging █
█ finale for an overall enjoyable effort. █
█ æExecutioners of MankindÆ uses a stylish mid-tempo █
█ gallop through a series of charging riff-work and █
█ pounding drumming thumping along to the up-tempo █
█ pace throughout here with technically proficient █
█ rhythms thrashing along throughout the steady █
█ up-tempo paces leading into the solo section and █
█ carrying through the strong, thumping final half █
█ for another strong track. Album-closer æRunning █
█ AmokÆ features a simple mid-tempo thrashing riff █
█ with plenty of pounding drumming ripping through a █
█ frantic up-tempo pace with scores of melodic █
█ rhythms running alongside the rampaging riff-work █
█ and taking the frantic riff-work through the tight █
█ solo section finale for a great ending impression █
█ here. █
█ This was quite the fun and overall impressive █
█ effort that really only falls down slightly to the █
█ fact that it doesnÆt really offer much new █
█ material here in terms of old-school thrash, but █
█ the energy and enthusiasm that they display in █
█ that style make up for quite a lot of those flaws █
█ and makes this a stellar choice for old-school █
█ thrash revival fans or even thrash in general. █
