THE CRUCIFIER - Voices In My Head (CD 2017)
Formed in February 1995, Athens-based Thrash Metal assault THE CRUCIFIER has managed to unleash 5 demos, few splits and 3 full-length albums including this third one, “Voices In My Head” which was released in September 2017 through Italy’s Punishment 18 Records. The CD comprises of 9 tracks (over 36 minutes) of 80’s Thrash onslaught. They sound most-likely American classics such as Nuclear Assault, Testament, Exodus, Dark Angel, etc (just to name a few) with a slight touch of Greek elements, I think. Straight-forward and technical riffs are mixed wisely. Rapid and sharp guitarworks with impressive melodies and sometimes surprising changes in tempo. The vocals are aggressive, and there is even more praise for the pounding bass and pummeling drum-strokes that amplifies the entire album. If you are looking for the finest old-school Thrash Metal band from Greece, The Crucifier has the ultimate answer, absolutely!
