Cool i respect your opinion, and you are a real gentleman. Sorry if i was a deuche, but i just can't get into these guys since Hangok (title means Voices).
Btw you should listen to the band called Subscribe. A really nice hungarian band. They sound like Sikth at some points.

yup listened to three songs off this. "Nothing Left", "It's Up To You", and "Rat War".

This is not thrash. It's basically straight up groove; even on their myspace they don't try to list themselves as thrash. There's always a slight thrash influence on groove but I mean yeah, to call them a thrash band is way out there. And this is not good at all anyway. It's like Static-X meets new Sepultura (and new Sepultura is shit, btw). Don't believe me? Compare the chunked riffs in the chorus of "It's Up To You" (and especially the whole song of "Nothing Left") to tracks like "Push It" by Static X.

This is just not good. At all. Sorry dude.

if you like bands like Soulfly, Devildriver, Sepultura or thrash in general you should like this


I hope to God you're not insinuating that Soulfly and Devildriver are actually thrash.

Devildriver is groove I know, and I don't enjoy Sepulturas new material either. Soulfly for me though a mix of thrash and alternative metal. I never said that Ektomorf is a pure thrash band, I am pretty sure I stated the fact that they are very groove orientated sufficiently

Your summary seems to contradict that, calling the album "one of the best, if not the best thrash metal record of the year"

ME? A FANBOY? GTFORN

But seriously, I thought that using my own name would be kind of nice, then people would know that I am actually not called metalstyles15 in everyday life haha

i haven't actually heard anything from these guys since 'Outcast'... really need to heard this.
well done for pointing out about the soulfly situation, it really must be a pain to be labeled copycats when they actually came first, i think the whole thing was a huge coincidence tbh... good band.
