The band is from the Monferrato area in Italy and only has been active since 2007. They have a very thrashy attitude…it would seem that H-George was influenced by Bay-area thrash bands like Megadeth, Exodus, Testament, Metallica, Kreator, etc.
Musically speaking the band sounds very cohesive. There are plenty of riffs throughout the CD, keeping the music fresh and active. A number of quality solos are thrown in and some inspiring leads as well. The precise drumwork is another reason why this disc is solid. If the songs had a bit more direction then it would be even better.
The 4 songs are around 4 minutes apiece, about 16 minutes total. When you get through the tunes, you think to yourself that you wish there was another track or two.
As I mentioned earlier "Neurotic" has a bonus disc, a 30 minutes documentary DVD featuring Carlos and Trevor. This DVD “Alcoholic Thrash Metal” is an explanation of the band’s style of music and how it got labeled with that name. To keep it simple, the style’s naming involves a fridge filled with beer on stage while they play. Sounds like a good time to me! Alcohol fueled metal, now that something to solute your horns to!
