REVIEW: VASTATOR - PROMO 2001

 

VASTATOR - PROMO 2001 (Independent, 2001):

Track List: 1- Cybernetic Heartbeat, 2- I Love You, 3- Mongolian Meat

Vastator is a band from Chile who does a style that I can fully categorize as thrash metal. And this is an advance of the tracks that will be on their next album called "The Night of San Juan". The music here is fast and powerful yet melodic. With rhythms that sound fresh...like if they have taken old school thrash rhythms and put a very modern sound to them...and interesting vocals (sometimes the vocalist reminded me of the singers in eighties thrash metal bands like Toxik). It is very interesting to find a band like this which gives an option to those who want something new instead of the same styles that are popular today. The sound in this recording is very good and I don´t know if this is the same mix that they will use in "The Night of San Juan", but is a really good one. Contact: www.vastator.s5.com
