UMUR
"Madness of Messiah" is a single release by Ukraine thrash metal act Mortal Vision. The single was independently released in October 2019. Mortal Vision formed in 2019 and "Madness of Messiah" is the band´s first official release. The single features two tracks which are exclusive to this release (they do not appear on the band´s 2021 debut album).

Stylistically this pretty much sums up to 1989 Sepultura worship. Furiously fast-paced and aggressive death/thrash metal, with a lead vocalist in front who sounds an awful lot like Max Cavalera. The riffs are hard edged, both fast-and heavy, the guitar solos screaming chromatic notes, and the rhythm section pound away with great power and conviction. It would be a lie to call this particularly original sounding, but it is damn effective and very entertaining. These guys can play and I don´t think I´ve ever heard anyone come this close to catching the sound of late 80s/early 90s Sepultura before.

The sound production is raw, brutal, and perfectly suiting the materal, and upon conclusion "Madness of Messiah" is a promising first release by Mortal Vision. Sure the lack of a unique sound and the clone factor does drag my rating down just a bit, but Mortal Vision still blow me away with their energy level and fierce aggression and power. That´s worth something to. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
