EXHORDER - Slaughter In The Vatican LP (Crystal Clear/Black Marble Vinyl)

180 gram, limited to 1500 copies issued with an insert.

This album from start to finish is a never-ending amazing guitar riffs, leads, vocals and production quality that is top notch! This is a MONUMENTAL RELEASE. Within the thrash arena, these guys I'm sure battled with the Bay Area thrash metal bands back in the day. They sure as heck know how to grind it out with some truly amazing guitar they didn't or don't have a huge history of albums but I still think that they have some intriguing sounds coming out of these speakers! I wouldn't think rating this any less than a perfect score. They nailed it all the way through. I wouldn't say that they are thrash/groove, I'd say mostly thrash.

If you haven't heard this band or this album, I urge you to do so immediately! This is one of the best thrash releases from back in the day when thrash was just getting a liking to the metal arena. These guys bring home one big MONUMENT. I see no flaws in this album or any of these songs. I'm urging listeners of metal music to get this if you haven't it's 30 years old now!! Help them keep the faith in thrash metal and you can be a sure follower of this group, even if it is just this album from theirs. I'm sure they'd be flattered at the fact that you took time to invest in their efforts! Long live Exhorder!
