REVIEW: LAST RITES - PSYCHO KILLER

 

LAST RITES - PSYCHO KILLER (Independent, 2001)

Produced By: Last Rites

Tracks: 1- Psycho Killer, 2- Chainsaw, 3- Skeleton, 4- Paradise Lost, 5- Poisonous

Recorded at Nadir Studios 

What we have here? This is pure thrash metal !!!! Here are the technical riffs that amde the style so big in the eighties, here we have the suffering vocals done by Dave (he uses two types of vocals, one is more classical thrash metal and the other one is closer to bands like Kreator or Carcass), here we have alos the excellent guitar solos (thumbs up for Jan!). The songs here have the coimplexity of the style and at the same time has this memorable choruses and parts that make you start singing the vocals along with the music. The drummer uses a lot of double bass and that adds a lot of extra heaviness to the five songs on this CD. One thing to remark is the good souns that this recording has adding a lot of modern sound to this guys music while helping each of the instruments to be listened clearly.

Favorite tracks: "Chainsaw", "Skeleton" and "Psycho Killer"
