Early Man - Death Potion
Release Date: 2010Jul20 (US)
Label: The End Records
Rating: 4.5/5
Early Man is a thrash metal band from Brooklyn, NY and some of their influences include Black Sabbath, Kreator, Megadeth and Judas Priest, among others. The title track starts with a thrash attack that’s strongly reminiscent of early Metallica. Adam Bennati’s drumming mixes in really well with the guitars of Pete Macy and Mike Conte. Not to be left out, Tim Ramage lays down some killer bass-lines as well. “Brainwash at Birth” is another quality track; both remind me of modern thrash/crossover bands such Municipal Waste and Iron Age.
Other standouts include “Nine Riders” (hide your mothers, hide your sisters, this is sinister as fuck!), “Fight”, “Unseen Tormentor”, “The Undertaker Is Calling You”, “Killdrone” (the longest, heaviest track on this album) and “Six Mothers Of The War God”.
Death Potion takes a tried and proven thrash formula and injects it with new life. It has nearly everything that I look for when I review thrash and I’d like to see Early Man hone their chops over time.
