| 3.5 great | cjbizzlebizzle | December 13th 17 |
Black and thrash metal combine to make something that sounds like the ugly spawn resulting from coitus between Bathory and Slayer's Show No Mercy. If you like convincing throwback metal that truly sounds like the times of old then this is for you, it is not the most original or innovative thing but damn does it work. The vocals are pure evil with a mix of high pitch shrieks and yells. The guitars do well to make riffs that sound right between old black and thrash metal. Screeching thrash solos follow up bare bones rhythm riffs while the bass provides a nice raspy backbone to it all. The general mood is very dark and the singer provides some good spoken word and callouts to mix things up in between the manic yells. In a year where Power Trip did amazingly to put their own spin on crossover, Craven Idol make a great mix of black and thrash that fits in now but would also pass 20+ years ago.
