ENIME - Bleeding Out
Self Released
When it comes to old school thrash specifically the so called Big Four, in the "M" category I stand by MEGADETH were as many of my close will go for METALLICA. So when a new band comes my way that really has a MEGADETH influence to em I get excited. Seriously you can only take so much of the SLAYER / EXODUS retreads. Now I'm not going out on a limb saying that this band is in full Dave Mustaine worship but they're close. And that's a good thing dammit.
ENIME are a five piece thrash act that hails from Montreal, Quebec. Strangely enough they do not have any VOIVOD influences. This release here is their second full length since starting out in 2014. After blasting it for a week I'm at the point of calling it one of the best things you'll hear today as far as modern thrash goes.
So lets start with the vocals and their singer Grey has a perfect voice for thrash. He has that cool average guy voice plus he can get evil and harsh at times. Better yet he can belt out some high pitched screams. Next up musically this band has that meaty sound to their riff package and song structure. Think somewhere between more modern versions of MEGADETH and dare I say OVERKILL but with a great sense of melody. And of course the soloing is fuckin explosive.
Getting back to their song structure side ENIME lay down ten blistering tracks that show more depth than your typical copycat act from the thrash revival days. Sure look it's thrash and there's gonna be strong influences which one could pick out or pick apart. But ENIME literally rip apart from the past and show themselves to be forerunners of a movement all their own. Damm Good!
