Hello, my name is Music God and I am a Thrash Metal addict. Now that we have that out of the way, let me introduce you to the newest gem in my collection, RUINSIDE.
RUINSIDE has a new album out, "The Hunt" that is a fabulous, raging dose of old school Thrash mixed with just a few hints of modern Metalcore. The first time that I heard the CD, I was struck by how much the band reminded me of older SACRED REICH. Upon further listening, I also noticed a touch of TESTAMENT in their sound. This is a great thing in my book as I am a huge fan of both bands.
With songs like "Hunters Of Divine Society", "Wounded And Defeated", and "T.O.R.T.U.R.E.", this band delivers a direct punch in the face. "The Hunt" is just huge sounding. It rips through your speakers like a freight train. This is just one bad ass album.
If you're looking for a band that has re-written the music playbook, you won't find that here. What you will find is superbly crafted tunes that rip your face off and satisfy that itch to just break stuff. There's just nothing about this CD that does not work for me.
