Enter The Grave
About This Album
Classic thrash is alive in the new millennium! In fact, it's experiencing a mini renaissance across the globe, thanks to hundreds of eager young groups set on emulating the frenetic sounds first perpetrated by Metallica, Slayer, and company in the early '80s (surely before many musicians from this particular generation were out of their diapers...if out of the womb, come to think of it). Needless to say, Britain's Evile are but one of many accomplished outfits stepping out into this recently formed mosh pit, but they're doing it with remarkable panache via 2007's Enter the Grave debut, which, incidentally, was produced by former Metallica associate Flemming Rasmussen. This is surely one large reason why the album is characterized by a distinctively crunchy, rhythmically airtight attack and splatter-demonic lyrics, reminiscent of Bay Area staples like Exodus and Forbidden -- even early Slayer for brief, exceptionally inspired moments. Notable offerings like the title track, "Burned Alive," and the self-defining "Thrasher" sound almost mechanically executed -- such is the instrumental prowess displayed by the group, and drummer Ben Carter in particular -- a true limb-flailing colossus in the Tom Hunting and Paul Bostaph tradition.
