SAHON - Chanting For The Fallen
Transcending Obscurity Asia
Korea has been in the news of late so hey why not check out some South Korean metal or more to the point, thrash. Full disclosure on my part, I am ignorant as far as Korean metal goes. So this was an education to say the least. First off SAHON have a history. They've been around since 1999, have five full lengths and an EP prior to releasing this one here.
Now before I go any further I need to ask you all a question. Can you name a thrash band today whose been around for twenty years and still has a sound that ferocious as well as dedicated to the genre basics? Take all the time you need. OK that's enough because you'd be hard pressed to come up with one. Right now I wanna check out this band's debut release Made in Judecca from 2002 or their follow up Kill But Shut Your Fucking Mouth from 2003. Just to see what they were like then because this one is killer.
Chanting For The Fallen is full on old school thrash and I'm on the fence as to where this band takes their influences from. I'm leaning towards that they've created their own style. Then again I do hear some Teutonic thrash style in a few songs. They also like MOTORHEAD. But in the end they've learned to filter it all to fit their own thrash vision. I think that's pretty cool.
