After 10 years of underground existence MESMERIZED from Poland finally release their debut with ten songs of Black / Thrash Metal and on first instance think that a playing time of 29 minutes including a previously released bonus track is really at the bottom line. Don’t want to go deeper because it’s the music that counts but nevertheless think that 10-15 additional minutes would be more adequate for such an underground release. The music itself is pure Black / Thrash Metal following the wellknown rules of a dirty riff / vocals plus a nice solo and everything is over in three to four minutes. Would like to write more about this band but this style is so worn out (maybe one step closer to the edge than Black Metal) that there are not more than a single drop of fresh blood in this release. For all the die hards out there take your chance, but the band is currently searching new band members and I really hope that new members could also mean new ideas / impulses. www.heavyhorsesrecords.de; www.mesmerized.prv.pl
