AGENT STEEL - Alienigma
Mascot Los Angeles Sci-Fi thrash-metal masters Agent Steel return with yet another explosive release. Juan Garcia and company sound stronger than ever, combining traditional power metal anthems with modern thrash-metal riffs and conceptually futuristic lyrics. Bruce Hall's vocals are quite impressive, sounding rugged and authoritative, and the blistering guitar work and driving riffs from Juan Garcia and Bernie Versailles are masterful making Alienigma Agent Steel's best effort since Skeptics Apocalypse. My favorite cuts are the opener "Fashioned From Dust," "Hail To The Chief," "Extinct," and the master-thrash closer "Lamb To the Slaughter." With all the influx and attention being put on modern thrash/death/hardcore bands these days one can easily overlook some of the great new releases from pioneering thrash-metal bands like Agent Steel, Exodus, Overkill, and Death Angel. So in closing I thought it'd be appropriate to quote my old college professor: "Learn your history...Don't be an ignoramus!"
