Greece and thrash metal? Wait a minute… oldschool thrash metal? Sounds good. Unfortunately among all Greek metal bands I know only a few just to mention VARATHRON, or mostly influenced and holding AT THE GATES legacy thrashcore masters from REVOLTING BREED and well know for every metal fan in the whole world melodic black metallers from ROTTING CHRIST. Now I can get known with SUICIDAL ANGELS oldschool thrash. Mostly I am really pleasured by listening to bands like SUICIDAL ANGELS. Perfect mix of oldschool thrash, technique, underskin melody and obvious influence of german thrash style (!). Maybe for almost all of you this influence can be ridiculous but it is not. I am really happy to hear those all crushing riffs, fast and furious tempos and of course almost as Mille Petrozza singing style!
If you are a fan of German thrash scene you should try SUICIDAL ANGELS – you shall be satisfied.
Musically SUICIDAL ANGELS are extremely close to old KREATOR albums. If I could compare Eternal Domination with any KREATOR album I will compare it with the debut and maybe… Pleasure to kill. Why? For example both bands play extreme and brutal thrash metal synthesised with a melody and shredding guitar solos. As far I listen to this album I am frank that Mille could be really proud of Greek thrashers. Almost each track is a total blast between the posers eyes – and when SUICIDAL ANGELS shot their thrash metal bullets no one should survive. Believe me or not, those eleven songs are destined to make all moshing metalheads really blasted and forced to make an awesome big cirle pit. Agression, brutality and true metal passion these are features of SUICIDAL ANGELS – if I can predict… I hope their thrash metal scene in Greece would belong to them.
Ok now I can focus on lyrics and the rest of stuff. Maybe it is nothing new but SUICIDAL ANGELS are anti-religious and they really dont admire religion ruling of the world.
Anti christian behaviour is propably not famous in Greece but well known in metal society. Once more time it is a slight link to early KRETOR era (and whole German thrash scene). Also I cant forget about artwork and whole layout of the album. Interesting anti-christian picture of devilish golgotha located in Hell is totally flawless 🙂
Ok so lets thrash mosh and destroy!
Who want's to join the Armies of Hell? 🙂
