Seven Sacrifices |
||||||
Memorain are a thrash metal band from Greece, formed in 1999 by guitarist Ilias Papadakis. | ||||||
The album begins with the atmospheric instrumental 'A Stitch In Time' that builds into a chugging rhythm with some excellent guitar work. 'Worlds Apart' follows on in the same vein with a great guitar riff and deep raspy vocals as it thunders along. 'Course Correction' is thunderous, although the vocals do sound a bit strained at times, but the guitar solos are just immense. 'Trust And Blood' is a guitar driven rampage of heaviness, 'False Positive' is a mid tempo thrash assault with some of the vocals growl-like and 'The Hour Of Death' is a blistering blur of pace and power as it rattles along. | ||||||
Title song 'Seven Sacrifices' is another mid tempo, very heavy yet catchy song with wide ranging vocals and an awesome guitar solo. 'Blind Spot' slows the pace slightly into a foot stomping chug, yet it still manages to fly with some blistering guitar work. 'Snow Falls', with its acoustic intro, clean vocals and lack of pace has a ballad feel to it and is out of place on a thrash metal album. However, that said, it is well played, well sung and the guitar solo is very good. | ||||||
Thrash metal returns with the thunderous 'Bad Wolf', full of guitars and powerful drums as it races at full pace to a frenetic finish. 'We All Fall Down' closes the album in furious fashion as it rampages through riff after riff pummelling the senses right to the very end. | ||||||
Overall, thunderous thrash metal with screaming guitar solos and great vocals that will please fans of mid tempo, very heavy, thrash metal. | ||||||
