Chaos - All Against All (EN)

It really is worth to broaden his horizons! Otherweise I would have missed this tidbit.

I'm talking about the Thrash Metal band Chaos from India, which was founded in 2005. Their debut album "Violent Redemption" already earned a lot of praise and could convince internationally. Now, after four years, they release the successor and what these guys deliver hereby is the finest Thrash. "All Against All" will be released on 15.06.2017 and it will properly strain the neck muscles.

An perfectly appropriate cover makes already visually obvious where the journey is headed to and the statement behind is clear - all against all!
The opening also dashed through without any kind of warning. Vocalist JK gives everything and snarls as much as possible. His poisonous vocals spit out the lyrics and provide a rather agressive power in each song thereby. The whole thing is accompanied by fast and varied guitar riffs as well as thundering drums which make my speakers shake properly.

With the title track, the quartet creates an ingenious "Eargasm" which directly invites to roar along due to its simple yet catchy chorus. Drummer Manu gives everything and pounds mercilessly on his drums. He duels himself with the Master of the Clamp, who saws through the song with angry killer riffs. If that is not enough, you can enjoy the official music video.

Altogether, the four maniacs thrash on the disc with full devotion, which is clearly shown in each of the ten tracks. They go at highspeed until the end and the old-school influences run like a common thread through the sound.

The only downer, for which I remove a point, is the relatively short duration of just over 34 minutes. Although this provides for an entertaining disc, it is just too little for my taste.

Conclusion:
Altough the Thrash-market already has a broad range of bands, for me pearls like this album can stand out of the crowd. Fiery guitar riffs, biting vocals and the touch of the old school merge to a thrilling unity where no one can hold his head still! There's only one thing left to say - Thrash or Die!
