Last
year I had the chance to hear the debut self financed album
from Agankast, the personal band from Rob Matthew
(former Atomkraft guitarist). Now after a year
the band strikes back with their sophomore album with the
title "Welcome to Insanitarium".
In
this album Agankast included eight tracks and more
than forty minutes of pure heavy / thrash metal in the vein
of the 80's. From the opening track the band unleashed their
aggressive and raw sound through our speakers and believe
me you will be surprised by their musicianship and their dedication
to the old days.
Maybe
some of you won't like this, because Agankast had chosen
to follow their personal way of thrash metal without modern
elements inside their music. I can say that personally I expected
to hear some of them but also I like the path that Agankast
had decided to follow.
All
in all, "Welcome to Insanitarium" is an honest
album, played straight from their hearts with well written
compositions, some very interesting ideas and above all, ladies
and gentlemen here we have thrash fuckin' metal.
