Metal Reviews

Fair enough.
Took me some time to get used to the vocals... Maybe the slightly "corish" quality...
Maybe you should try the whole album.

We are a New Heavy/Thrash Metal band.

Check out our New EP: http://www.myspace.com/criptofonia




The EP has a cover of SAVAGE (NWOBHM)



Thanks!

Post it in the promote your band section or this thread will be locked.

Eh, it's sort of on-topic, so I'll let it pass. You'd better join the debate properly though Mr Criptofonia, y'hear?

You get my thread locked and I will kill you.

I think self promotion of a new thrash band in a thread call "new thrash bands" is really on topic...

Yeah, but you know it's the last we'll ever see of the guy, so in a way it's spam.

Yeah exactly, if he continued to discuss the topic then fine, but blergh no spam thanks.

Ho, leave him be!
At least it was related to the thread.

Argue in my thread and I will kill you.

Hmm the Savage cover is ok...but I didnt even bother listening to the rest of it because they are yet another new thrash metal band and as such deserve no attention from me. I bet they're good live though.

Ok just listened to some of the songs. Not bad. but again, I cannot overstress the fact that this type of music has been beaten to death for me. It's strange because I tend to like music that is devoid of any modern influence....but these new thrash bands suffer greatly from the fact that they are adding absolutely nothing new...nothing at all. So when the 80's thrash metal bands were churning out riffs that had been used in the NWOBHM, the new thrash metal bands are pumping out not just second generation used riffs....but currently, I'd argue they're pumping out fourth generation hand me downs. A copy of a copy of a copy of a copy....will by its very nature look...and in this case, sound...like shit.

So Criptofonia is not bad...There's some interesting stuff on there, but like all new thrash metal bands...I just don't have the patience to sit through riffs that I've heard in 4 to 5 other songs. Nice try however. I do like how the vocals are sung in Spanish.

Disagree with me and I will kill you.

look blood tsunami are the best new thrash band
seriously the vocals are awesome somewhere between black and thrash kinda like quothorn
guitars are fuckin amazin melodic leads but the riffs are so brutal

2 good crossover bands

cross examination
crucial unit

Nope.

they are probably the only band that don't sound like an 80s rip off

Nope.

This band SUCK DICK

Yep, like a cheap whore in a snowy winter night.
