Rigor Mortis - Slaves To The Grave, 2014 CD Album, DVD      Rigor Mortis Records - RMR03-14 Thrash to the future once again! From the bottom layer of the grave, Rigor Mortis rocked the 80s with its not-unlike-Hellwitch speed riffing that made them borderline death metal, while maintaining the dark vibe of the heavy thrash metal of Nasty Savage and early Hallow's Eve, with almost as many hooks. A quick introspection reveals to the Church that the favorite entry is still the very first and dominating album for its no-filler thrashalanche is what the thrashonaut needs and never gets enough of. Not that the follow-ups are dispensable and less exciting, it is only an effect of chronology. Then the 2014 return is no disappointment, the power is intact, the musicianship is of course even better, and they were corrupted by no trend: Slaves is first grade 80s thrash metal from the 21st century! This might be the flaw of that great album: no evolution. But for the Church it is an asset, there are zillions of new bands doing the modern stuff, let us enjoy the remnants of the old guard putting it out to the death. Triplazering classic thrash attack of the serious headbanger! Remove brackets and unzip: [thrasherizer] !ZER Rigor Mortis ZER!
