When I started writing this review I tried to think if there are any thrash metal bands from Ireland that I had heard of\u2026 I couldn\u2019t think of any, and a quick Google search didn\u2019t help. Interesting that I had sitting in my lap the new album from Dublin based thrashers Unmaker. ‘Limb From Limb’<\/em> has one foot in the glory days of thrash, the band wear their influences on their (leather studded) sleeve, I can pick up early Sepultura, Kreator, and Possessed vibes throughout the album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening with the brutal ‘To War’<\/em>, Unmaker show that they mean business from the off. Crunching staccato riffs, pulverising drums and shouty vocals make the perfect blend for some old school sounding FRASH!! Drop Dead<\/em> is a bouncier affair with a more atmospheric approach. The title track brings us back to more breakneck riffs and some double bass gymnastics from drummer Jake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album is very engaging, it really grabs you from the start and makes sure that you pay attention to what\u2019s going on. ‘Control’ <\/em>has a more modern feel with a nod to Bullet For My Valentine. The instrumental Point Break<\/em> starts off with some dreamy guitar work and works its way up to some impressive guitar soloing from guitarist Sean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
