Taking influence from nigh on every 80s thrash act, Utrecht\u2019s Project Pain unleashes its first full-length studio album in four years. The follow-up to 2018\u2019s Brothers In Blood<\/em> is a sturdy, uncompromising thrash assault slightly hampered by the brute vocal chops of Bauke Goudbeek.<\/p>\n

Musically, there\u2019s a strong San Francisco Bay Area flavour as the combo rips through a selection of thrash-by-numbers compositions which can\u2019t help but fuse Slayer<\/a>, Exodus, Forbidden and Sepultura while draped in Ed Repka-styled artwork.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to get excited by bands like this even though they give you a good night in, but I do like the steelier, slower tracks such as \u2018Mean Metal Machine\u2019 which have a persistent weight and higher pitched vocal melodies to combat the muscular scowls.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, the band surges with the title track in familiar fashion, \u2018Submerged\u2019 is strong in its percussive fury, and \u2018Feel The Pain\u2019 propels the bass to new heights and chugs along nicely.<\/p>\n

Faster Disaster<\/em> is a competent thrash release although one lacking an identity, but the guys seem more than happy to rattle through these tracks in the hope that your cranium will be caved in by their shovel-headed kill machine.<\/p>\n
