ANDRALLS
Force Against Mind
(Mausoleum Records)
45:09min

This surely is a heart-warming, old-schoolish and non-compromising Thrash attack leaving no prisoners behind. ANDRALLS apparently dedicate all their energies to the heritage of acts such as KREATOR, JUDAS PRIEST, EXODUS, SLAYER. These maniacs revel in the good old 80s and digest this influence and passion in their music. The result are homages to this spirit – speedy drumming, swift guitar-riffs, crazy soloing. Well – sometimes I think this kind of music is a bit too nostalgic and attached to what lies behind and therefore a bit repetitive concerning ideas and so… but hey… ANDRALLS really enlighten winter’s dark hours with some cool Thrash Metal music breathing in the good old, solid Metal values. So that is all right then. The production of this output is great – very powerful, very clear… so this enhances the quality of this record as well. These guys are cool… but in terms of innovation within the realm of brutal Thrash Metal I’d definitely rather go for wonderful acts like BK 49. Anyway… check this out! www.mausoleum-records.com, music.avenue@planetinternet.be.
