Extreme elements infused into this thrash metal attack
Some more extreme elements are infused into this thrash metal attack. Jason Suecof (Death Angel, Trivium, Whitechapel) is the producer this time around with Mark Lewis (Trivium, All That Remains) on board as engineer and mixer. I’m not sure I’m completely sold on the band at this point, although I can’t pinpoint a reason why. I throw them in with the likes of Skeletonwitch as electric youth that is nearly a mandate to continue metal’s longevity. Battlecross are clearly dedicated to the cause and every single note of ‘Rise to Power’ is calculated intensity that simply doesn’t fade out or burn away. The deathy vocals seem to consume more of the verses this time around with the familiar blackened screams still included for duel delivery and emphasis. It’s as fast as lightning, sounds phenomenal...what am I missing here? Clean vocals? My inbox is open.
