Today’s review is of Swiss Power Thrash Metal band Thola’s new album.
Mixing the fantastic and epic elements of Power Metal with a modern and occasionally-pretty-hard-when-compared-with-similar-bands kind of Thrash Metal, the group deliver here an easy to listen yet powerful album that may also appeal to fans of Epic Heavy Metal on some occasions.
Perhaps the main element of the release is its modernity, although fans of the classic approach to the subgenre may also enjoy it. With a good production and heavy yet not too commercially evading riffs, the full-length takes Power Metal through a sort of new direction without straying too much from the norm, offering songs with identity that nonetheless somewhat stick to the general formula. My personal highlights are the title track and “X-Treme”.
I recommend this album to fans of modern Heavy Metal, Thrash Power Metal and Power Metal. My rating is of 8/10.
