NOCTURNAL FEAR - METAL OF HONOR
More war-obsessed deaththrash hellslaughter from these vile bastards, and without war, they would probably be nothing. Forget all that cookie-cutter fun "retro thrash" TRASH that is so common these days, Nocturnal Fear are the real deal! No gimmicks, no trying to hard to capture any misbegotten 80s essence, and no silly "old school" nuances! Just fast, face-ripping thrashy badassness! And, as I always heap praise upon, they make good use of film dialogue with excerpts from the last Rambo film and the first Conan (granted their superfluous acoustic guitar overlay could be done away with so we can hear Basil Pouledouris's somber score for Conan instead, but it's a minor gripe) which add to the mood of anger and disgust and lustmord this album so brilliantly exudes. Sweep aside those poser thrash losers popping up everywhere and embrace the real, mean, raw deal! (FA)
