Maze
of Terror – Offer To The Fucking Beasts
Peru
Xtreem Music
Peruvian death thrash maniacs Maze of Terror release their second album and follow up to 2016's ripper "Ready To Kill". The latest work is a convincing and ferocious display of skull-shredding thrash infused with sheer aggression as well as some new dynamics at work.
It seems the band
have evolved their sound a little and added more atmosphere this time
around, although the vocals are still as hostile-sounding
as ever. Each track is packed with pounding riffs, hard-hitting drums
and heavy bass lines, while hateful vocals are
belched
over
the explosion of noise.
There are also plenty of lethal
guitar solos scattered throughout the album, lightning fast and full
of morbid emotion. I really like the way the drums are played and
sound on this album. It does not sound overproduced or too dry, but
has just the right amount of bite for a thrash album. Also, the main
tempo of the music is a little faster than mid-paced and pairs well
with the ferocity of the music.
There is an abundance of head-banging
riffs, indicating the band's propensity for violent,
old-school
metal.
The band cites bands like Massacra, Sarcofago, and Protector as
influences, so
that alone can
attest
to the fact that
this is no pussy thrash.
Overall,
“Offer To The Fucking Beasts” is a deadly album on all fronts and
comes highly recommended to fans of gritty and uncompromising
Death/Thrash. (HT)
