Album Lenght: 52:50
I'm puzzled. Those thrash metallers from Slovakia made me so furious! My head is still headbanging… wait a minute, how long is this album? Almost 53 minutes of pure oldschool thrash metal filled with strong technic and catchy melodies. I admire Slovakian metalheads for having simply awesome thrash metal band. Thrash metal as thrash as it can be, without cocklicking.
MAJSTER KAT is a band which exists for a few years, and this participation on the scene is really easy to hear. Among all Sloviakian bands only MAJSTER KAT achieved something what we can name as a succces. They've recorded good debut album and a dvd. And what is very pleasant they are still playing shows – propably they are also going to play in Poland.
MAJSTER KAT music is a thrash in ARTILLERY, DEATH , CORONER mix style with an unique element, Slovakian lyrics and melodies. I mentioned Slovakian lyrics, yes they could be also advantage and disadvantage of MAJSTER KAT. Especially for Polish listener they might be funny and… bit to high pitched (vocals, not lyrics), decision is yours, just try and later you will propably scream with Slymak.
MAJSTER KAT metal is maybe nothing oryginal cause it's oldschool, in addition recorded without triggers and whole digital tools. Its a raw and 80's style material, many patterns of Los playing may appear on various albums of 80's thrash metal stars, maybe… LIVING DEATH? Maybe, maybe.
I think you should give a chance to Slovakian thrashers, they're really good and impressive, if you are a listener of thrash and mainly you appreciate technical thrash you would love this.
So… bang your head! Old school thrash will never die!
