I’m just going to run through some quick reviews of some Metal Blade bands new albums here. I’m kind of all reviewed out this week. So here is 4 reviews kept short and sweet.
Trigger The Bloodshed: The Great Depression is anything but depressing. Extremely fast UK death metal with great production, ultra fast drumming and nimble fingered guitar playing along with a lot of tremolo picking and some doomy bridges that make it all worth while. Best Tracks: The Scourging Impurity, Dead World and The Great Depression. The Great Depression sees it’s release on Tuesday April 14th, 2009.
