Album Review: Warcall – Invaders (Plan B Music)
Canadian thrashers Warcall will release their new album, Invaders on October 13th 2017 via Plan B Music.
A concept album based on humans fighting back an alien invasion with a message of fighting oppression, resisting, reconquering, but without knowing if it is really over.
With the crashing of drums & thrashy riffs, Invaders gets off to a blazing start with Mission Commando. A white-hot blast of metal that delivers on hard hitting rhythm, screeching solos & brutalising vocals.
Fans of an old school thrash/speed sound will find plenty to enjoy throughout Invaders. 10 tracks of meaty metal that makes you want to dig out the old patch jacket & head-bang until your neck fuses.
The concept behind Invaders comes to the fore-front with the thumping groove of Bully Bastard. A song that encourages you to take a stand. It’s quickly followed by the wickedly fast Mass Extinction, a song that drops some of the best guitar riffs of the entire album. A real head-banger of a track.
The feel good vibe of the record continues throughout the middle of the album. Tracks like The Man Who Suffers, Fight Back & Through the Dusk slay with huge drum beats & riffs strong enough to rip you limb from limb.
The penultimate track, Para Bellum kicks off with a screaming guitar solo before showcasing a mix of nasty & clean vocals. This excellent thrash record wraps up with the near six-minute speed epic that is Alien Forces. The final battle, leaving the question hanging about if we will prevail or not.
