There are albums that have the power to bring you back in time, there are groups that if they fuck fashions and play only what they like, no concession Post / nu, no damn break down 80's thrash sound but only in spades! These
National Suicide are just that! A jump back several years, return to the golden age of metal, when the band smelled of alcohol and dirt, a heavy kick in the teeth to the many groups bimbiminkia last minute! Their creed is already stressed in view of their space "HELP U.S. TO KEEP THE WORLD CLEAN! WITH THE WORDS NU / POST WE CLEAN OUR ASS! DO THE SAME! " to reiterate that they are there, there! And
'It only takes a promo, followed by an album in this 5 thrashettoni to get noticed by the Italian public, in fact The Old Family is Still Alive has been an enormous success, so much so that the My Graveyard Productions has been forced to reprint a second edition (including 4 tracks extracted from the demo) important dates in Italy and abroad and have devoted the National Suicide as one of the most optimistic hopes of the underground thrash Italian (together with Subhuman and neurasthenia ) due to their ability to restore freshness to old school thrash but without having to compromise!
The Old Family is Still Alive has 9 tracks that do not get tired nor bored, the easiest approach regards Overkill, the riffs are catchy, the battery is strong and insistent, and the singer (clearly inspired by Bobby " Blitz ") weaves the threads of a song that blends perfectly all the rest.
It starts with the title track National Suicide, and the cry of "Defend the line!" you begin this journey through time, grab a beer and get ready for the massacre, a elettrothrashock assail you! The next
Nu Posers do not Scare Anyone caught with a catchy refrain but also with a Mini (voice) here in the state of grace, evil and aggressive. The title track seems less inspired of the above but with a little 'craft still remains a sufficient standard of quality. In Let me see your pogo the title speaks for itself, here the guitars are sharp as blades, and returns to thrash rotten and direct, very nice piece, a real incentive to pogo that certainly very popular, especially on stage, even the solo and sweeps involves making perhaps the best episode of the album. Wanted wink to sound more heavy / speed of Motorhead old school, very good intro for the next Into the Clubhouse, another piece of 90 of the album, which starts with a roar of motorcycles chased by a steady rate battery, as usual, the expressiveness of the singer is greatly increasing the price of the song, however, defends himself well, thanks to a more original songwriting here, topped off with tasty breaks and bass guitar and powerful vocals., that refrain misses the mark, catchy vocals and lyrics:
"Into The Clubhouse - fire and flames
Adrenaline is pumpin 'up my brain feedin
Into the Clubhouse - nothin' to lose
Love and Hate in accelerated this Is the way we choose! "
that loads well before the discharge of adrenaline beautiful solo. Applause!
still missing three pieces but the quality of the album arrived here means that we can already feel satisfied from what he hears so far, very good sign! Please Welcome My Friends ... is another gem, granitic in its simplicity, is set to Let me see your pogo the song more "old style" of the album, brings back memories of the first Destruction and Exodus . ... Nostalgia rogue!
Sucks'n 'Artillery opens with a nice intro to groans from blow job intense and well made and runs off with no particular major peaks in Raid This is a task close to full as it should be this good, not add or take away from what have heard so far, it merely repeats the homework done so far, but always with determination and skill that stand out from this work. In conclusion
vote largely positive, as expected. This The Old Family is Still Alive deserves numerous accolades, first of all the cleverness in having revived the great sound eighties embellishment of a new freshness and above all without altering the structure, the musical maturity is also evident, especially for all the Mini singer, a real cut above for the group that knows it can count on his vocal flexibility and its ability to interpret music. Note also deserves to text, nothing is blatantly clear, but they are very well kept and never dull. The pull of ears instead comes to the look and feel, a little 'overlooked, the logo is clearly copied from Nuclear Assault and the artwork could surely find something better, but oh well after all these details. The
difficult for the National Suicide will now be a great album can be there, but you know how to confirm the challenge to overcome, where many promises have lapsed, and only the best come out unscathed, the second album will help us to understand whether we have before a meteor or a group that seems destined to take up the legacy of Necrodeath, Bulldozer Schizo and among the giants of the Italian thrash. Horns up and good luck to the National Suicide not deludeteci!
