Razor – Executioner’s Song [Review]

Posted by —

0

Razor is a Speed Metal/Thrash Metal band from Canada. Thrash with Speed do Razor. I like the band name and the album artwork of a man wearing eye mask with a guitar in his hand with spikes band on his wrist, it’s cool.

I like both Speed Metal and Thrash Metal for me both are almost same except for the Speed and Thrashing part. Executioner’s Song is a kickass (I hate to use this word, but, here I’ve no choice when the album is oh-so-cool) album and a must listen to.

My picks from the Executioner’s Song are “Take This Torch”, “Fast And Loud”, “City Of Damnation”, “Escape The Fire”, “Distant Thunder”, “Hot Metal”, “Death Race”, “Time Bomb” and “The End”.

Amorphis – The Beginning Of Times [Review]

People fall in love at first sight; I fell in love with a song by Amorphis called “Battle For Light” in the album The Beginning Of Times at the first listen. Man, what a fantastic song with its growls and clean vocals and heavy guitar riffs and cool drumming.

I can now easily say that with this Amorphis have made me say that “Amorphis is one of my favourite Metal bands”.

Next up is the awesome song, the second one, “Mermaid” with its melodic guitar riffing accompanied by drums that are a pleasure to listen to the ears and add to this an opening solo, wow. The vocals are mindblowing and when this song is played, it feels heavenly; it’s like a musical yo-yo which is beautiful.

As I proceed listening to other songs on The Beginning Of Times, I can’t but look with awe at Amorphis, because as a first-time listener of their music I find meaning in their music, beauty in the way the songs are composed and the lyrics written and overall the vocals and the co-ordination among the different musicians in the band gels together perfectly.

Despite being a long album at 13 songs I enjoyed listening to The Beginning Of Times. This album is worth many a listens. My picks from The Beginning Of Times are “Battle For Light”, “Mermaid”, “You I Need”, “My Enemy”, “Song Of The Sage”, “Reformation”,  “Escape”, “Crack In A Stone”, “Beginning Of Time” and “Heart’s Song”.

What an album these chaps from Finland have made. Awesome is the perfect word to describe it.

Pentagram – Last Rites [Review]

From the US of A come Doom Metallers Pentagram. Last Rites opens with a Melodic Heavy Metal song called “8” which is followed by the instrumental song “All Your Sins (Reprise)”.

The album artwork of a skeleton wearing a hooded gown with a feather in its hand for a pen and a book in its front on a chair with the name Last Rites etched on it reminds me of Skeletor, the villain in He-Man: The Master of Universe.

The songs that I like in Pentagram’s Last Rites are “American Dream”, “Horseman”, “Everything Turning Into Night”, “Call The Man”, “Death In 1st Person”, “Nothing Left”, “Treat Me Right”, “Walk In Blue Light” and “Windmills And Chimes”.

Overall, a highly enjoyable album and worth many a listens.

Autopsy – Macabre Eternal [Review]

Autopsy is a Death Metal band from the USA. Macabre Eternal opens with a dark and grim song “Hand Of Darkness” which sees the vocalist growl and the music play fast with pounding drums and guitar riffs which go insane. “Hand Of Darkness” is a headbanger’s delight.

Maniacal and drone-ish drumming is what is seen in the next and second song “Dirty Gore Whore”. Typical Death Metal cookie monster growls combined with guitar riffs which cut like a see-saw and long screeches, “Dirty Gore Whore” is enjoyable.

Macabre Eternal is a cool album but what I don’t like about it is it is a lengthy album with 12 songs and that’s quite a strain on the mind especially if you run a online Metal music magazine like me and have to review many albums.

My picks from Macabre Eternal are “Hand Of Darkness”, “Dirty Gore Whore”, “Always About To Die”, “Macabre Eternal”, “Born Undead”, “Sewn Into One”, “Sadistic Gratification” which is the longest song on Macabre Eternal at 11 minutes and 15 seconds and “Spill My Blood”.
