Comment:
New EP by this turkish band of relentless and intense Thrash Metal with influences like SLAYER, KREATOR, DARK ANGEL... Includes 2 bonus from their demo '07.
One of the most important legacies of Thrash Metal German School for the generations to come is the presence of oppressive brutality. It's a feature that the North American School has, but not as evident as on German tyrants as DESTRUCTION, KREATOR and SODOM. Some works from these giants as "Infernal Overkill", "Violent Revolution" and "Persecution Mania" show that you can have a Thrash Metal style with melodies and an aggressive approach. Ok, I know that this formula is extremely difficult to be accepted by a broader public, but it has fanatic fans.
And to these fanatics, I truly recommend the Turkish band, THRASHFIRE, that is really unleashing a violent work on their EP, "Vengeance of Fire".
Without copying anyone, but truly inspired by the German Big Three of Thrash Metal, they show a musical work violent and intense, but technically worked, abusively aggressive and heavy as Hell. Yes, these guys are pretty good, and doing such sound on Turkey can be a trial, once it is a bit distant from the European Metal centers. But they have courage and guts, and their work is really very good.
Ali Öztürk accompanied them on their recording sessions, and Ünsal Özata made the mixing and mastering of this EP. We have no complains about it, because it does not sound moldy or as a "mommy-I-want-to-be-a-80-Metal-band". No, here the sound quality is really good, keeping their music aggressive, ripping and destructive to our necks, but we can understand their music clearly, what the musical instruments are playing. It's not they really deserves yet, but it fits by now.
I really recommend you to hear all their songs, because they are truly addictive.
"Vengeance of Fire" is fast and has high doses of adrenaline pumping from our speakers, with violent thrashing guitars drilling our ears, and "Thrash Assassinations of Rotten Streets" keeps the massacre with fast tempos, very good chorus and fine harsh vocals. The speed does not come down on "Chainsaw Metal", with very good tempos once more, and a good work from bass guitar and drums. And these three songs are the new ones, but as bonus, there are two songs, "Silent Torture" (where some influences from DESTRUCTION are clear in some moments, especially on vocals) and "Kill the Fake God", both from their 2007 Demo.
Aunque hay algún otro trabajo relativamente relacionado con el estilo, los citados son los que sin duda pueden lucir semejante etiqueta con mayúsculas. Por h o por b, he tenido la suerte y el placer de haberlos disfrutado y comentado para la presente Web; simple matiz sin aparente importancia, pero que para quien suscribe sà resulta significativo, por ser el Thrash Metal un estilo (el buen Thrash Metal) al que guardo un respeto especial y del que tengo recuerdos increÃbles. De hecho, en el miserable remedo de dÃas que resta para finiquitar la temporada, aún queda un lanzamiento de similares caracterÃsticas, la última chispa de la pira, que se resiste al cierre de la temporada y arde como las ascuas del Infierno: “Vengeance of Fire†(XM 199 CD), nuevo EP del trÃo turco THRASHFIRE, tras otro EP de 2010 y su larga duración de 2011, el balÃstico “Thrash Burned the Hellâ€.
Principalmente, este nuevo trabajo se nutre de cuatro cortes producidos por Ali ÖZTÜRK (Studio DEEP) y Ünsal ÖZATA (SoundDamage), de los cuales el primero es un intro; muestran la propuesta actual de la banda, mientras que al tiempo se han añadido otros dos temas extra pertenecientes a su “2007 Promoâ€. Algo que se agradece… no solo por cumplir con el tiempo más o menos “reglamentario†de un MCD, sino porque es un material que de otra forma quedarÃa perdido en tiempo y espacio, mientras que ahora sabe a caramelo, bien planchado y tostado. Por aquel entonces afinaban en Mi convencional, tonalidad cómplice del viejo estilo y que dota a esas canciones del punto añejo necesario, mientras que ahora lo hacen en Re, sabiendo respetar las mismas esencias de edificación musical pero aportando grosor y un enfoque más acorde con la visión del combo, o más bien, de su mentor.
“Chainsaw Metal†resulta todo un himno sodómico, en forma de corte caliente, rápido, oscuro y de estribillo fácilmente memorizable. Llega un momento en el que el corte se transmuta, incluso pareciendo una nueva canción, en lo que posiblemente sea el momento más vivaz del disco, una machacada que bucea en terrenos METALLICA del “Master of Puppetsâ€, OVERKILL, ANTHRAX… dando pie al refresco y tomando aire para retomar el envite de la brutal motosierra.
El resto del lanzamiento se compone de los citados cortes de su demo de 2007, dos canciones grabadas en Studio Raven y que supuran aires “Show no Mercyâ€, â€Possessed by Fire†o â€Chemical Invasionâ€, pero resultando más intensas por su relativa proximidad al bando de DARK ANGEL, VIO-LENCE, etc. Un momento en el que la banda se está construyendo y tomando forma, por eso la gracia de este material reside precisamente en su inmediatez y sinceridad, pura esencia de THRASHFIRE en la que se empleaban coros más hardcorianos al estilo de los citados VIO-LENCE, ATROPHY o incluso EXODUS.
