With a relentless barrage of chunky guitars, pummelling double bass work and a monstrous wall of sound that rivals some of the best sounding thrash metal albums in the genre, LÄÄZ ROCKIT literally torches anything that claims to be "the new wave" of thrash metal with a classic "old-school" sounding album. The opening track Brain Wash sets the tone with its wild, crazy riffing and thundering heaviness. The aggressive vocal style blends well with the riffs and even allows for some more melody-infused chorus sections. Slow chugging thrash with flurries of double bass are found with Delirium Void, Erased and My Euphoria. These tracks wander in and out of the domains of classic MEGADETH and Persistence Of Time era ANTHRAX. The aggression, anger and speedier thrash makes return appearances with Turmoil and No Man whereas Liar is a classic mix of thundering heaviness, huge chugging riffs and some great atmospheric lead breaks. Tracks like Ghost In The Mirror and Desolate Oasis offer nice changes of pace with quiet intros while slowly building in intensity and heaviness. Atmospheric riffing and overall ominous tones create solid dynamics for these tracks that give your neck a bit of a well- deserved rest during the listening experience. The album closes with a killer instrumental track Outro that features shredding and atmospheric leads including some very tastefully done dive-bomb tremolo work; all creating a very "thematic" feel to the track. Left For Dead is a relentless barrage of aggressive thrash metal yet allows room for dynamics and melody. With a huge wall of sound, excellent production and some killer rip-your-face off riffs, its pure euphoria for the thrash metal enthusiasts. Two exclusive bonus tracks live tunes; the classic Leatherface as well as Prelude are included in this limited edition digipak.
