Search - Kayser :: Kaiserhof

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Kayser is yet another band that brings the Slayer influence-namely South of Heaven-era, and mixes it up with stomping numbers and speedy segments to create a deadly dose of true modern thrash. Thankfully, there are no much melodic leanings in this record, and the vocals do blend with the material, unlike the latest Ritual Carnage effort. The drum work is technical and proficient, with very busy footwork and interesting cymbal patterns. Even though this is Kayser's debut LP, some of the musicians themselves have been in Spiritual Beggars and The Defaced, so the experience shows here. "1919" is a great track to start this album with. Ever heard of an album that starts off with a shredding guitar solo? Overall, this album demands your attention if you're a true headbanger."
