Angelus Apatrida - The Call

Apparently Angelus Apatrida is a fairly well known band, which surprises me as I had personally not heard of them until I was assigned to review this, their latest album. From what I can find about the band on the internet, they are a Spanish band that has been around since 2000 and tearing up the thrash scene in Spain ever since.

At first I was a bit leery of listening to this as I've recently reviewed several thrash albums for both this and other publication-Too much of one genre can lead to burnout and taint one's ear's after all. Luckily for me however, "The Call" starts off with the absolutely ripping "You Are Next" which blew me away with it's neck snapping riffs. The band then continued the pace for the rest of the album with song after song of high quality thrash.

Angelus Apatrida – Clockwork

15:23 0 Comments

Although Angelus Apatrida live right across the border in Spain, I must confesses that I had never heard of them before receiving this record “Clockwork”, which is actually their third full-length album in a career that spans over ten years now.

Throughout 13 tracks, including a cover of Iron Maiden’s “Be Quick or Be Dead”, the Spanish quartet delivers a high-octane and tasty thrash-metal that sounds straight out of 90’s vault. I know that retro-obsessed thrashers have saturated the music scene in recent years, but trust me when I say that “Clockwork” is not a mundane imitation of classic thrash records, though their influences are immediately identifiable.
