Italian
veterans, In Cold Blood have released a bit of a hard
core tour de force with guest appearances from Annihilators Jeff
Waters and Death Metal warrior Giulio Moschini from
Hour of Penance, they guest on tracks like ‘Choose
A Life’, ‘Bad Wolf’, and ‘No Sun'. The
album starts off with adverts
playing in the background, then a keyboard symphonic
build up to 'Dead And
Gone', this is heaviness
personified. I am
reviewing this album at work, with head phones, and can’t wait to get
home and blast this album to the max. 'A Flawless Escape' was
released as an album teaser and it comes battling along like a Roman
Invasion Party. This is brutal, aggressive and punching you in the
face, hard core metal. 'They Live' is an excellent melodic
hard-core number, the pounding drums assault your eardrums as 'Sorrow'
comes to attack your senses and
gears you up nicely for 'Choose A Life', with its gut wrenching
vocals. You can really hear and feel the aggression
and the vibe is truly intense. This track ends with melodic
acoustic twist that leads you
into the fury of 'Coils Of Addiction', which is packed with guttural
growls and elaborate guitar work. This and 'Flawless Escape' are
probably the stand out tracks for me.
'Total Control' and 'Kill To Get', both have pulverising riffs
and powerful guitar harmonics. Stuck in between these two tracks
is an excellent acoustic interlude by Annihilators Jeff Waters. 'Bad
Wolf' is a monstrous slab of Heavy Metal heaven. This is a really
immense piece of work, with electric and acoustic guitars and rounds off
a devastating and truly impressive album. The
album artwork is very impressive and created by the Italian designer
Nello Foresto. I
urge you to give this album your full attention. Review
