Fatal Mutiny - Existence in Extinction (CD)

Review

When the band choose to go full bore on the up-tempo gallop trail, such as the follow up Abandon All Hope, you feel the balance between say a newer act like WARBRINGER and a couple of the classic templates from KREATOR or SACRIFICE, while guitarist Dimitris Nikou uses a rapid fire, almost Phil Anselmo-like sandpaper scream to roar through the words. The title track showcases the guitars and bass performing in a triple tier, MAIDEN meets SLOUGH FEG / VEKTOR manner, a boatload of killer intricacy going on amidst the normal crushing thrash action as well as some outer space, neo-classical meets jazzy breaks going on for bassist Christos Drakos beyond the conventional axe antics. - Metal Temple 5/5
