Skull Korpator: Chaos Station (Ragnarok Records) [Matt Bladen]
Ah thrash, it's one of those things that when done well it's a brilliant, when it's not done well it can be very stale and repetitive. Athens thrashers are more on the positive side of things thankfully despite their terrible name, they manage to bring some classic metal chops to their thrash attack, the Intro is built around some marching military drum beat as it moves into the first track proper Hatred which gallops with trad metal riffs bolstered by the thrash tenacity. It's a pretty good way of opening the record as it's followed by the much thrashier Blast It Out and Burnt Society which channels the Big Four but mainly Anthrax along with Testament due to the incredible drumming on display. Skull Korpator are a trio, which makes this album even more impressive as it never stops being heavy but they also have grooves on Breakthrough along with bounce to Fatal Wrecking. Raging thrash metal undercut with trad metal melodies (Voices Of Despair) Chaos Station is decent thrash metal album and worth your time. 7/10
