Time Signature
Episodes of aggression...
Genre: thrash metal
This album is friggin' awsome. Firstly, the lyrical concept is about a race of aliens who invade Earth 600 years in the future, with underground forces of humans taking up the battle against the aliens in a world of droids, aliens, laser guns and bio-cybernetic technology. HOW COOL IS THAT?!?!? It's awsome! Sci-fi thash metal!
Musically, Bonded By Blood deliver a solid type of thrash metal with several retro elements - the vocalist, "Aladdin" Barrales, for instance, sounds like a hybrid of Paul Baloff, Sean Killian and Russ Anderson. However, compared to a lot of early thrash metal, Bonded By Blood's music is more technical and also a bit more brutal than many of their fellow retro thrash metal colleagues.
There is not a lot of variation across the tracks on the album... but, hey, who needs that? This is thrash metal!
Warmly recommended to any fan of thrash metal.
