WRAITH 'Undo The Chains´ - Review By Gravarson

Redefining Darkness Records

RELEASE DATE: September 24th

PREORDER Vinyl / CD or https://shop.redefiningdarkness.com/

These old school worshipping thrash maniacs in WRAITH delivers a solid 12 track named ´Undo The Chains´ which can be described as raw and simple and trashy black n roll but powerful and dark 80’s like metal influences with a not so necro but hard and very fitting sound for WRAITH and the overall production on 'Undo The Chains´.

The songs are relatively short but fast paced and blended with good riffs and guitars.

The vocals are not scream or growly but raw and fit into the whole and it is just to open a beer or whatever you do on friday and enjoy this ride.

There is no weak spots or fillers on Undo The Chains´

It’s straight in your face speed metal yet with melodic hints at the same time without losing the raw edge of it all.

I hope this album gets the attention it deserves 'cause it will rip you apart if you let it.

Trashy riffs that can’t go wrong if you want a feelgood album to bang your head to with thrash,punk,metal influences this is it PLAY LOUD!

Destruction meets Venom with a blend of 70’s metal on speed.

Just listen to tracks like Born To Die, Gatemaster,Gift Of Death, Bite Back.

Want a quality thrash metal album that swallows you raw with a little bit of punk metal and heavy 80’s German thrash attack nostalgia, look no further.

Tantara (Nor) - Based On Evil

The relatively young band Tantara formed in 2009 has now released their first full-length through Indie Recordings and I guess the expectations has been high after releasing the pretty good EP "Human Mutation"  in 2010
At the first listen it's easy to hear that they are heavily influenced by 80's thrash acts like Dark Angel,Testament,Slayer,Destruction & similar acts.

With the epic opening track "Based On Evil" they force the listener to want more.
What they have done here is to take all the best elements from the golden era of thrash metal and continued into the future with their aggressive but still very melodic album, listen to "Mass Murder" and you'll know what I mean.
The riffs is outstanding ,I have to credit the guitarist for the outstanding guitar work & riffs on this release 'cause it's not everyday you hear something that actually is quality and made true devotion for the music.

I cannot find one negative aspect with this album really.
The production is solid and all the band members deliver with excellence.
This album will be worshipped by people into thrash and hopefully others cause this is a great piece of art we have here,I strongly suggest you take a listen to this 'cause the guitars impress very much ,with the classical playing alongside with the technical riffs.
At times "Based On Evil" reminds me of "And Justice For All…" But don't get me wrong,it's so much more than just a Metallica clone,but they surge as hell manage to deliver a solid album that I think will set the future for this band.
With a potential like this they are doomed to a great future & will probably be a big name in some years.
A hard hitting thrash attack,with aggresitivity & tension to cut the power combined with epic instrumental parts
 either you're a thrashead or not this will blow your mind out and take you on a sentimental journey from the past diving into the future leaving your brain with only two words left "HELL YES!
Totally worth every single penny!
