There are also occasional nods to the 90's power/speed metal school ('Streams Of Sorrow'), but overall this is crunchy biting stuff with good emotional clean vocals.Īpart from one of the worst sound qualities ever offered in the underground, this demo 'boasts' evil brutal thrash/proto-death which is way more aggressive than Possessed's same year's 'Seven Churches'. The guys don't aim at breaking any speed records,īut expect numerous thrashy breaks scattered around some of them served with galloping rhythms ('The Final Call'), some with spasmodic semi-blasts ('Possessed By Hate'), others with dramatic heavy shreds ('Human Machine'). Semi-clean/semi-shouty baritone reminiscent of Kerrmit (Tyrant, Germany).īased on 'Possessed', this German formation indulge in pure old school power/speed/thrash not far from New Eden and theirĬompatriots from Psychotron, maybe not as progressive-oriented as the latter. The singer isn't very striking with a mean-ish Towards the doomy side, the final 'Insanity' excelling in the lead department.

More melodic exploits for 'Revolution' and the progressive semi-ballad 'Lost Soul' that influences the remaining cuts which cling 'Hell Was Full' is another razor-sharp shredder leaving the The pace isn't very dynamic, but 'I Know Places' starts moving things around and the following 'Still I' isĪlready a cool melodic headbanger with Iron Maiden-esque guitar duels.

A year later the band changed their name to Substance D, and released another album of exactly the same sound, maybe more industrialized and mellower.īased on the full-length, this act serve a blend of power and thrash, mostly on a modern base, but with a few references towards theĬlassic area as well. The approach is broken again for 'Strange 48', which is an abstract acoustic/ambient ballad. Still the tempo changes, sometimes offering dynamic up-tempo riffage (the cool crossover-tinged 'F.B.I.'), although before its coming one may get a headache from the pounding one-dimensional riffage. This trio straddles the line between the 90's post-thrash trends and the dancy industrial of White Zombie. The good semi-clean, hoarse singer is another positive addition with his assured, not very adventurous, blend.
