Band: Shock Troopers Title: Blades
Rods and Nationality: Italian
Year: 2010
Production: Punishment 18 Records
for the new review go down in the Deep South, specifically in the beautiful Palermo, land gave birth to the Shock Troopers, interesting band, signed to Punishment18 Records, curriculum already in nearly 10 years, a demo and two albums: Shock Troopers of 2007 and that Blades and Rods pass it to review.
The group is inspired by the punk / thrash bringing to mind bands like SOD, DRI , Acid Drinkers and Cryptic Slaughter thrash mixed with the core of recent Municipal Waste, the fusion of all this is Blades and Rods , an album that seems to increase the already high prices of these Shock Troopers, a strong reputation in the Sicilian earth, and increasingly determined to make their voices heard at national level too.
Twenty-five minutes are enough to churn out a good album, 11 tracks the average of two minutes each, a good production, fast pieces, cut to the bone and convincing, very few solos, but a lot of anger, which is already apparent from texts The Rape and as Jail Word , who railed bitterly against the powers that be, Toilet and show Competition , respectively invective against two TV musical contest and, above all, the violent title track (which presents the cover adequately represented in cartoon form on the guerrilla movement in a massacre which lie on the ground the bodies of a priest, a policeman and a Nazi skinheads) real masterpiece of the album, which just exceeds the average standard (rather high) of the compositions. Just below us can stand Thrash Road, another blow in the teeth, but also the aforementioned Toilet Show to the podium of the three most compelling episodes.
On myspace there are also numerous videos live show also a remarkable talent live, as he should imagine a similar bands, the short papers in all there are. Sicily seems to have potential and then have another band (along with the Shock ) that can keep up the good name of trash at the national level. Keep an eye on it!
