Pyoveli- Still Underground

Thrash!!! I love thrash! I've listened to Thrash since I  was a young metaller in the late 1980's... Whoah! That's a bit of time. I have not stopped listening to thrash this whole time.  No matter what you young'uns from 2008 onward seem to think.  Thrash never went anywhere.  It changed a little here and there.  Took on some death here and some black there.  A little power on the side.  But it never actually disappeared. It just kept moving forward.

Another person who understands this is the brewmistress at Witches Brew,  While we both agree that thrash never went anywhere we also agree that it has been largely ignored until just recently.  She was so into it that she formed a label and started releasing fantastic thrash albums from the start.  Just so you young'uns know, this is the label that gave you Toxic Holocaust, Gama Bomb and Deathhammer.  Without her I doubt any of those bands would have rose in prominence.  You should really check out the label if you call yourself a thrasher... really...

Another band that she has released several albums before is Pyoveli a Finnish speed/thrash beast.  Like Gama Bomb and Deathhammer, I knew from the first sample I was going to love these guys... apparently in this case I was alone or close to it. 

 If you call yourself a self respecting thrasher you need to check out this album.   The best way to describe this album is imagine Razor, Exciter and Iron Angel had a drunken and crazed child that somehow grew up in Finland... That's all you need to know... This is a fantastic violent, nuts, fast and turbulent thrash experience.  This is what thrash should sound like.  Too many of the more upper "underground" bands have no idea how to play thrash... This gets it... every time!

Highlights: Speed Metal Attack, Rebel Racer and Heavy Thrasher... but this whole record is spectacular from start to finish...
