Blackened melodic deathrash full of shredding, solid musicianship and songwriting.

Skeleton Witch has something about them that I love, their super heavy and they have the perfect amount of melodicness in there to make it sound perfect.

With the thrash revival scene picking up a lot of steam in the past few years, it's a bit frustrating to see a band like Skeletonwitch being hailed as one of the frontrunners. "Beyond the Permafrost" is just a mish-mash of various metal genres (NWOBHM, thrash, and black metal being the most obvious) that is so pathetic it causes me to laugh every time I listen to it. Not only that, but this is only about 50% thrash, with the 2nd half of the album dropping off into some melodic metal bullshit. Don't buy into Skeletonwitch; they've got a few good riffs here and there, but for the most part they're a weak attempt at thrash.

Thrash at its best. Honestly. Some songs drag a bit (Cast into the Open Sea, Remains of the Dead), others blister forth with an enthusiasm and intensity that I've rarely seen in any band (The first four tracks, Soul Thrasing Black Sorcery) and the closer (Within My Blood) is very possibly the best thrash song I've ever heard (yeah, including Metallica and Slayer, I said it  . Though some might say that their style is very derived, I feel there is a certain flair and a unique power to their constant change-ups, and the choppy chuggs at a 180mph, something that captures the essence of thrash established by previous bands without actually stealing it. This is a powerful, fun, technically proficient, musically exciting and generally original offering amidst a sea of wankers and copycats.
