Throne Of Serpents - Baptized In Blood

Throne Of Serpents is a thrash / speed, metal band from Illinois, and this is their first effort, which is also self – financed.
\r\n In the “Baptized In Blood “ album we can find 16 compositions of old school thrash / speed metal, influenced by bands like Sacred Reich, Slayer and other milestones of the genre. The Vocals reminds of early anthrax days and the production that now days sounds like demo tape, reminds of the production of the first albums of the previously said bands.
\r\nIn particular, there are some good melodies, while the guitar solos sounds like Kerry King playing with Malmsteen’s Fender, there are many times throughout the whole album, that Throne Of Serpent’s guitarist seems to worship the Swedish guitar hero and his neo classical influences.
\r\nIt’s about a good effort, but although Im not a conformist myself, the production needs improvement, especially during the solo parts.
\r\nIn general this album is for the fans of this genre, despite the fact that there are many better releases out there
