CRUCIFIED MORTALS
Converted By Decapitation
(Stigmatized Records)
25:16min

Drivingly fast old school Thrash Metal offers this young band from Cleveland, Ohio. Featuring Novy of VADER / DEVILYN fame in their ranks CRUCIFIED MORTALS certainly do not lack the musical abilities to perform this type of music the way it should be performed. Though totally unoriginal the band’s enthusiasm and energetic performance summons the spirit of old KREATOR, SACRIFICE, early SLAYER musically and BURNT OFFERING or PRIME EVIL vocal-wise. In terms of production CRUCIFIED MORTALS do not entirely look into the past, but combine contemporary transparency and power with a little Bill Metoyer / Brian Slagel-note one should know from “Show No Mercy”. A good feel for hooks, vicious aggression and unstoppable speed make CRUCIFIED MORTALS an impressive newcomer worth of being checked out by traditional Thrashers. The song ‘Sentenced To Extermination’ has a very nasty, very tasteless intro, but apart from that I can hardly find anything worth of being criticised, maybe the vocals could be a little more diversified and hateful, but well… that’s all!!!
