My Comment
This is a compilation for "Bangkok Thrash 2009: Thrash 'Til Drunk"(09-05-09) which is the first Thrash Metal Festival in Thailand. The compilation consists of 12 original tracks from 7 Thai bands that play old school Thrash Metal and related genre such as Thrash Death Metal and Speed Metal. The tracks come in various quality. Some of them are studio tracks. Some of them are demo tracks with very clear sound, but some of them are quite raw (oh my ears bleed..hehe). Mascara and Psychrotrain bringing fresh thrash melodies (WTF really good fast solo), Killing Field and Purgatory playing death with strong thrash influence, quite technical. Black Ciety with post punk influence (em..idk why putting in this album). Overall good start for Vol 1. Really worth compilation. This album is good opportunity to Siamese band rising up.

My Comment
This album is 8 years after "Black Mass" (see my post b4). In this album they include new horde membe "Oleg Smirnoff" as keyboard. Concept changing to more industrial yet still under heavy and thrash influence. Despite new influence added, its still quite enjoyable to me. Guitar solo was not isolated from rythm making they still have strong Power influence. Atmosphere was strange horror and catchy. Another diff approch from "Black Mass" but still leading to same light. Scarlet Woman is the best song among others. Also added whispering girl vocal in few songs (kinda occulism). What else to be expected from the lagendary italian here? Grab and prepare your soul to Majesty of Evil !!
Highly Recommended !!!

My Comment
After "Impiety", here one more band from lion island (singapore). Istidraj influence based on early Belphegor and Mayhem (hell ya). Yet giving blasphemic old skoll BM to rise. Brutal raw attacking guitar riff, with satanic lyric, this trully BM horde ready to fuck u hardly. one problem is the sound quality. Hope next time they will find good production. At track 7 and aftwerwards, they changed their concept a bit. More melodies and now i can hear the music (wtf). Maybe just for...fullfill the album (-_-).Fans of true raw BM must lookout for ISTIDRAJ or die in mercyful fate!
