The First Three Sins of Satan’s Island
Let’s start by discussing the first three sins of Anarchy Zone and their album Satan’s Island
The First Sin, The Strings/Keys: Features twin-guitar interplay of intense and infectious riffs, soaring solos, driving rhythms, and melodies. The bass riffs anchor the music and add depth to the composition. The Second Sin, The Vocals: Aggressive vocals cut through the mix with ferocity and demon-ridden… The Third Sin—The Percussions: Delve into a vast world of rapid-fire, complex, and energetic drum work…
The Fourth Sin: Overall Discussion:
Forged in an electrifying embrace, that takes the listener on a secluded Island, where the lyrics delve into dark and intense subjects.
As soon as the listener presses the play button, the opening piece Shot Point Blank and the remaining six pieces unfold, unveiling an album that is a treasure trove for the souls of old-school headbangers. It delivers a relentless thirty-five minutes of powerful, aggressive anthems that resonate deeply. It expertly blends the fierce, anthemic energy of thrash metal with the heavy, fast-paced intensity of traditional heavy metal. While the influence of Bay Area thrash is prominent, this depends on the listener, but I caught echoes of Teutonic Thrash and hints of Slayer, especially in the vocal delivery.
As the listener continues their journey, they will discover that Satan’s Island is all wrapped in a production and sound, that’s polished and professional. This artistic creation is a showcase to the professionalism of its creators, functioning like a finely tuned machine operating at full throttle. Each note and beat is expertly crafted, ensuring that the listener is enveloped in a sonic experience that is both exhilarating and immersive.
Anarchy Zone, not only delivers a fruit of art devilmanship, but also presents a fruit of art composition -musical, instrumental and lyrical. Resulting in an instrumental composition and arrangement, highlighted by the dynamic twin-guitar interplay of Mr. T and Hinge. Their intense riffs and soaring solos create a captivating soundscape, while the driving rhythms propel the energy forward. Complementing this is the solid foundation laid down by Lars Schneider Sørensen’s bass riffs, which anchor the music and add depth to the overall experience. Drix‘s drumming is complex and energetic, driving the tempo and intensity of the band’s music.
At the forefront of this powerful sound is the commanding voice of Sonny Rock, whose aggressive vocals cut through the mix with ferocity. Sonny Rock delivers raw and demon-ridden vocals, as each song unfolds, his vocal tone changes with each song, ensuring that every lyric resonates with the listener.
For those with a passion for classic thrash and heavy metal, complete with infectious riffs, rapid-fire drumming, and a touch of nostalgic vocals, this album is sure to resonate deeply. Together, these elements forge upon the thunderous anvil of heavy metal — crafting an album that is not just heard but felt, leaving an indelible mark on anyone who dares to immerse themselves in its electrifying embrace.
If you crave the raw energy and intensity of old-school thrash, this album promises to satisfy your appetite with its heavy, aggression and relentless pace, making it a must-listen for any metal enthusiast.
The album comes to an end with the last song, Hordes of Flesh. We want to give a shoutout to GlobMetal Promotions for letting us review Anarchy Zone and their album Satan’s Island. Now, we’re going to wrap it up by talking about the final three sins and concluding the review.
