Merendine Atomiche from Padova, Italy are a really good band that will make really happy to those fans of old and new thrash metal. Why do I think this? Because they have make an interesting alchemy of old thrash riffs in the vein of old Metallica, Testament, Exodus, Sacred Reich, etc. (listen the beginning of "The Truth"), a little bit of modern metal (Pantera, Machine Head, Sepultura) and they have added a modern sound to it (check the drum sound through all the CD ). "War or Peace", the first song has all this elements through its multiple parts and changes. Excelent job of Luca Zandarin on vocals, making a fusion of thrash, death and heavy metal singers, with a lot of personality (which I think is really important in this kind of bands). Excelent work of Luca Cerardi on drums and of David Bisson and Giulia Cerardi who constructs the whole tracks in a really powerful manner. They have also a "Tribute to Metallica" CD and a demo called "Demo 1997". I hope to hear more from them soon. Favorite tracks: "War or Peace", "The Guardian" and " The Truth".
