Founded by the two remaining members of Gandalf,
the new band The
Scourger blast themselves onto the metal scene with “To
The Slayground.” It’s hard to pinpoint their sound but
it’s somewhere between Swedish death and thrash. A host of band
may come to mind, including At the Gates, In Flames, Slayer, God Dethroned,
Kreator, and Testament. They use many great riffs, melodic death to
heavy thrash riffs. Don’t think this is another At The Gates
or In Flames copy, their thrash elements add a lot. The riffs keep
coming at you like a person with a machine gun emptying their clip
into their enemy. Very badass!! This is quite a first impression for
me. I already can’t wait for their next disc! The six songs
last for almost thirty-two minutes so be assured of no cheap one-minute
tracks. One last thing, Samuli Ponsimaa, known as Skrymer of Finntroll,
created The Scourger logo. If you think you’d like what I have
described to you, don’t hesitate, it’s worth your time.
This was a pleasure to review! Rating: 93 |
