Rotengeist are from Poland and play Thrash Metal.
The band have a good, strong sound that they use to launch their Thrash attack from. I also quite like the album cover.
This is heavy, aggressive Thrash with almost a Progressive edge to some of the songs. This additional penchant for melodic and interesting instrumentation scattered across the album pushes the band above the average, and is definitely something I would be keen to see the band develop and build on for future releases.
The vocalist’s voice is pitched somewhere between singing and shouting, almost like the singer of Testament on occasion.
The instruments are well played and the riffs and licks are endless. You can hear the bass and it makes an above-average contribution to the songs rather than just following the guitar at all times. They have some good solos on offer as well.
A strong album that is a bit of a grower, as all good albums are.
