The snappy assault that is Ukraine\u2019s Reabilitator pretty much sums up the thrash wave that descended upon us around 20 years ago. Reabilitator is a rather youthful and exuberant attack on the senses although one which suffers greatly from being generic in spite of its aggression.<\/p>\n

With a current line-up of Dmytro Prasolov (vocals and drums), Andriy \u201cSF\u201d Narolskyi (guitar) and Oleksii \u201cCrazymetalliman\u201d Novikov (bass), this band from Zaporiyia are getting experienced in its tirades with Mentally Defected<\/em> being their third full-length offering. Musically, it\u2019s the usual Slayer<\/a>-esque battering only less brooding. Imagine then Havok with that snappy vibe \u2013 especially in the vocals \u2013 which after a few listens begins to grate on the ears.<\/p>\n

The album, which runs for 36 minutes, whizzes by with plenty of passion and kick and most of it is fast and furious. Opener \u2018R.I.P. (Die In Agony)\u2019 is not overly different from closer \u2018Revolution\u2019, and that\u2019s the biggest issue here.<\/p>\n

Reabilitator is standard, crunchy volatile thrash metal with no real intention of diversion. The same old thrash topics of disease (\u2018Deadly Infection\u2019), devotion to thrash (\u2018Thrash Way Of Life\u2019) and psychological torment (\u2018Mentally Defected\u2019) yet all delivered with a rather annoying yap and the same, blurring breakneck speed. The die-hard thrashers will no doubt lap this up, but it\u2019s a record that\u2019ll soon be cast aside with the rest.<\/p>\n
