Blood Tsunami: Thrash Metal

Ragnarök! Blood Tsunami takes no prisoners on this thrashing hellride!
Rapidly gaining speed while increasing in massive proportion, this raging storm began brewing somewhere around the North Sea circa 2003. The fearsome foursome later signed away
their blackened souls and firstborn to Nocturnal Art Productions in 2006.

Their winning formula is basically a mix of brutal German style and dirty 80's style Bay Area thrash
with undertones of heavy metal of olde coming through the guitars. On a more subtle level, there are
some 70's heavy molten protometal guitar moments and some Swedish death metal elements lurking in the background growls and riffs. All the while, the uniqueness of overall sound is further enhanced by
gusts of telltale Norwegian blakk frost as it gets blasted all over every track, courtesy of the infamous drumming überbeast Faust a.k.a. Bård G. Eithun. These four separate musicians meld into one very tight metal unit for the duration of this release which must also be incredible to hear 'live'. Pete's vox has that reptilian hissing and snarling quality of Pat Lind's together with the tortured intensity of Mille Petrozza. In fact all of the vocals work extremely well over this particular brand of thrash as they're raked over the coals during the process of the killer production. The track titles accurately convey the aggression of this release as well as serving as an indication of the band's philosophy and direction.

Highly recommended to fans of both old school thrash metal and to all eclectic metalheads,
hard rockers and punkrockers.
Band influences: early Slayer, Testament, Exodus, Metallica, Destruction and Kreator.

Having named the band 'Blood Tsunami' was indeed a foreboding, as this was done before
the disaster struck South East Asia in 2004.
