Salvation |
||||||
| SystemHouse33 are a thrash/groove metal band from India founded by vocalist Samron Jude in 2003 releasing their debut E.P. 'Discernment' in 2006. The bands debut full length album 'Depths Of Despair' was released in 2013, with the follow up 'Regression' emerging three years later in 2016. And whether planned or simply by coincidence, the bands third album 'End Of Days' emerged another three years later in 2019. Spooky eh! But when I tell you that the bands new album 'Salvation', was released in 2022 - another three years after their previous release - you're gonna start believing that some strange supernatural force is at work here! | ||||||
| But putting aside all the strange, supernatural, and spooky time frame coincidences - 'Salvation' is eight songs and thirty minutes of raw and aggressive thrash. The gruff and growly vocals of Jude coupled with the crushing thrash metal groove sounds like a coming together of Pantera, Slayer and Soulfly! So get yourselves ready for a barrage of bone breaking brutality - as the album saunters into life with the anticipation fuelled one and a half minute instrumental intro 'Remembrance'... | ||||||
| ...with all hell breaking loose as the album erupts into life proper with a searing guitar riff, and the opening song 'Salvation' pours outta the speakers with a heavy groove and a gut wrenching growl - adopting a brutal foot stomping nature as it moves forward. The crescendo of bone snapping thrash is terrifying, SystemHouse33 aggressively stamping their mark on the worldwide metal scene. And making that mark even bolder, is the savage 'Summoning The Courage' - picking up pace and ferociously slamming listeners through walls. Yes readers, the ferocity of 'Summoning The Courage' is just that powerful. So strap yourselves down or you're gonna find out exactly how it feels to be swallowed by a tornado! But if you've managed to survive the incredible force of 'Summoning The Courage', then relax! For 'Break The Mirror' adopts a calmer stance - yet the vocals are fiercer than ever, and may make ears bleed as they scowl and growl relentlessly. There is a little melodious intent tucked inside 'Break The Mirror' too, but only a little. Which is completely thrown away for the boisterous barrage of 'Blood Covenent', an up tempo and highly aggressive in your face romp. The band capture the brash arrogancy of threatening behaviour with 'Blood Covenent', Jude's vocal delivery menacing to the max! | ||||||
| The savage destruction from the bands previous album 'End Of Days' is doubled with this one - 'Thief In The Night' the most destructive and terrifying offering heard so far. Jude's snarling vocals take on a more feisty tone, growling and scowling with a high level of intensity. An intensity that is also felt within the music, err, metal! There's no denying that SystemHouse33 are a brutal force of nature, a sweeping tsunami of destruction that'll wreak havoc and leave only desolation in its wake. Be warned, and be prepared! There is just no safe place to hide from the bands savage brutality, 'Lost Perspective' taking up the baton and bashing you round the head with it. The pummelling and mauling that 'Lost Perspective' is dishing out, will no doubt garner the attention of local law enforcement, with allegations of ABH and GBH aimed at the band: "it's alright officers, we're just play fighting" says every single person listening to the album. And as the final song approaches, the level of savagery remains sky high, 'Chains Of Darkness' picking up the pace and storming on, ferociously spitting fire and brimstone left right and centre. What an absolutely savage ending to a very savage album of brutal thrash. Simply breathless! | ||||||
| Overall, a ferocious barrage of savage thrash with a high level of bone breaking brutality. | ||||||
