Description
LP is in EXCELLENT condition following review about the band
This band reminds me of Anthrax, mostly the vocal style. Danny Foxx is like a Turbin-Belladonna hybrid. I guess they’re the UK answer to Anthrax. They also sound similar to Agent Steel during the “Skeptics Apocalypse” period. What can be said, these guys can just flat out thrash. They also have a punk feel for some odd reason.
Anyways these guys are all about speed and aggression. There are definitely NWOBHM traces in their sound though. Foxx’s vocals dominate the sound, followed by the guitar and drums. The bass is almost non-existent. This is typical on most underground thrash releases though. So this album still gets a good rating.
The opening track “Metalyzed” defines Blood Money’s sound. It’s a fast track with some good drum work, and one hell of a chorus. Then a solo breaks out, which is pretty good, and fits the song well. Then the track “Gor” follows. I have no idea what he says in the chorus, but it seems to go down smoothly. The riff is pretty simple with triplets dominating with a chord here and there. Overall a good track to head bang to. Then follows K.Z.F.E.D.K. Which starts off with Gramie Dee thrashing on guitar, and then the rest of the band comes in. This song has more melody in the vocals than the first two tracks. I think it sounds pretty good.
“Lazarus” starts off different, with a lightning bolt crashing down from the sky, which to me sounds like the intro to Venom’s “At War With Satan”. Once again, this song has a lot of melody in the vocals. The guitar follows Foxx’s voice very well. The solo is pretty amazing on this track. Now the title track is pure gold. This song is pure speed. From the get go the guitarist is thrashing away, along with the drummer. This track shows Foxx’s voice rising above the rest of the band and making himself standout.
“Stormer” is another quality track from these guys. Foxx does a great job on vocals. The guitarist doesn’t stop shredding, and the drummer is relentless. “Taras Bulba” isn’t a different track. This is where I think he sounds most like Belladonna. Another track that is straight up thrash. The guitarist throws in a few more chords on this one to stay in sync with the drums. “Deathstiny” is a good track with a lot of melody, the most melody out of all the songs. This is where he most sounds like Turbin. He doesn’t hit notes as high as Turbin, but its close enough.
“The Third Wish” is the longest track and has an acoustic intro, but they don’t let you down whatsoever. The guitar comes in thrashing about along with the drums. And once again the drums and guitar are in perfect sync with chord and clash being spot on. “Death Heavy” this is the final track, and it doesn’t disappoint. The drums are more noticeable on this track. The vocals are well done, and the guitar couldn’t be more perfect.
Overall this is a pretty rare album, so if you get a chance to listen to it, do it, I’m sure it won’t disappoint.
