User Album Review
Expect to hear some catchy riffs, the kinds usually churned out by commercially-appealing bands such as METALLICA and MACHINE HEAD, but also expect to hear obscure references to influences cherry-picked from other genres such as the chilling, ascending lead guitar reminiscent of Black Metal to sharp, jarring, harsh music typical to the energy and aggression of Punk. The vocals too take on another facet of Thrash Metal, with John Kevill sounding like he just came out of a Scream 101 class with the likes of Tom Angelripper, Miland Petrozza, and Marcel Schirmer.
“IV: Empires Collapse” is an album that is out to prove a lot, and boy, does it do the job. Maybe finally WARBRINGER will get the credit and respect they deserve for reviving the Thrash scene and doing more with it than most of their counterparts in the modern Metal scene do. This is one of the essential albums of the year and it may very well influence the way musicians take on the Thrash genre from now on: with more balls, creativity and finesse.
