Germany's Dust Bolt take their turn with the thrash revival campaign and serve up Awake the Riot. The album is nothing that would shock or surprise any genre fan. With plenty of thrash staples incased in speed driven riffs and solos, whiplash drums and the obligatory barked/yelled vocals, Awake the Riot is a damn fun ride from start to finish. The one detractor I feel the album has is its length. It's almost an hour long, a factor considering the same structure and sound to the songs. This is definitely an album you would want to throw in for short, staccato bursts of thrash. Fans will definitely enjoy it even if it needs to be in small doses
