I am not a Thrash- Metal Freak! But I really enjoyed the latest record of AGE OF EVIL. Surely this must mean, that it will sweep Genre-Fans off their feet, right? In fact: these Americans kick ass.

This music goes straight forward in your face, here and there you can also find some slower parts. However, some of those are sometimes a bit stiff. I also want to mention the Opener “Figur 109-3” and “Verfall”, ... more/mehr
