Exodus - Bonded By Blood (1985) [Reissue]

Artist : Exodus
Country : USA
Release : Bonded By Blood [Reissue]
Year : 1985
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

When talking about the Great Thrash Movement of the 80's, this disc arguably, is the 2nd most influential thrash record ever made (right next to "Reign In Blood" by Slayer). A seriously punishing slab of thrash, "Bonded By Blood" was released in late '85 and immediately set the underground ablaze. The dual guitar team of Gary Holt and Rick Hunolt rips the listener to shreds with a barrage of lethal, adrenaline fueled riffs. While the riff style is similar to that of early "Kill 'em All" Metallica, (Kirk Hammett was Exodus' guitarist before joining Metallica), the songs themselves are overloaded with riff after riff of pure anger. Paul Bailoff, the lead singer, also lays down a torrid wave of vocal hatred that is utterly intense.

Exodus - Pleasures Of The Flesh (1987) [Limited Silver Edition]

Artist : Exodus
Country : USA
Release : Pleasures Of The Flesh [Limited Silver Edition]
Year : 1987
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Exodus is the most underrated thrash metal band of all time. They started out promising and darker than Metallica and Slayer. However, after Fabulous Disaster they got too goofy and weird. Eventually they drifted away into oblivion. Nonetheless, they're back. And although this review is not about their return, it's still good to now that this album was monumental in the uprising of Exodus. This album is a classic, and it is a requisite for all thrash metal fans. Like their previous effort, Bonded By Blood, every song is full of vigor, energy and pure brutality. Rarely is there a band that puts high energy to every song in their album.

Mystic Force - The Eternal Quest (1993)

Artist : Mystic Force
Country : USA
Release : The Eternal Quest
Year : 1993
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 VBR

Info:

A quality power/prog metal act, Mystic Force has toiled in the Baltimore area for several years, with their most recent album (their fourth, not counting a demo re-release) in 2000. Man Vs Machine is quite an accomplished affair, correctly described by others as a heavier Queensryche. For whatever reason they haven't attracted the attention of major indie metal labels, and as such they don't seem well known.

Ritual Steel - A Hell Of A Knight (2003)

Artist : Ritual Steel
Country : Germany
Release : A Hell Of A Knight
Year : 2003
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

The album isn't bad, the band feels good between ANGUS, old OMEN, IRON MAIDEN, SORTILEGE, HAVOC and the mighty "eyes closed and let's go"-feeling of German Underground heroes ala IRON ANGEL or WARRANT. Songs like the pretty catchy, with pretty shout-choruses ennobled, "Hellbrigades", the rocking "Where Shall I Sleep", where the singer unleashes some screams as I would bawl old ACCEPT and MOTLEY CRUE

Ritual Steel - Blitz Invasion (2004)

Artist : Ritual Steel
Country : Germany
Release : Blitz Invasion
Year : 2004
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Born out of the ashes of some local bands from the most northern part of Germany in Spring 2001, this band quickly found their own style, which was traditional 80s sounding, very powerful Metal without any compromises. Stylistic elements are ranging from 70s Heavy Rock to Doom to Heavy Metal to Speed and Thrash.
Since their beginning they were going through a couple of line-up changes but still released one regular 7", two split 7"s with other bands, one 7" as bonus for the vinyl issue of the first album and two long players, filled to the max with nothing but pure, hot and spicy Metal the way they think it should be played. Sometimes their mouth seems a bit too big for the current Metal scene but then on the other hand they are honest to the bone and just express their personal view as Metal fans.

Mystic Force - Shipwrecked With The Wicked (1990)

Artist : Mystic Force
Country : USA
Release : Shipwrecked With The Wicked
Year : 1990
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Picture and early Queensryche around the time of their first EP or even early Iron Maiden, that is exactly what you get with this EP. (also reminds me of Heathen's Rage, but few probably remember them.) Vocalist Bobby Hicks has a killer, high-pitched voice that fits so well with the music. Hearing this disc, I wonder why it was this band was never offered a contract with a bigger label. The music and vocals really are that good. Perhaps it was because by the time 1989 rolled around this type of galloping heavy metal was no longer the 'in' thing and you had to be either a thrash band or a pop metal band to get a contract. Regardless, "Shipwrecked" is a fine example of true metal by a band with a long history of not selling out to trends. The bonus track is nothing more than a practice demo and a joke.
