Lethal(Swe)- Demolition Demo'
Unsigned
http://algol.ath.cx/~erik/lethal/

Lethal are one band in the line of many bands helping revive thrash metal today. This demo is not old as it was just released this year, also they were on Witches Brew records, until they shutdown so now they are an unsigned band. The production on the demo is actually decent, the guitar's are fuzzy, with alittle too much bass for my taste. These guys sound old school, like in the ballfield of Kreator, Slayer, Exodus and such. The guitarwork is very basic but still sounds somewhat original, when unoriginality reigns when bands like Avenged Sevenfold, As I Lay Dying and other metalcore bands bastardize the genre and name of thrash itself. These guys play balls out thrash, and there is no hardcore influence to be found in the band. Lethal is just one of the many bands that are keeping thrash alive. But, the best songs are: Devastation, Lethal Injection, and Cleansed By Flames. The demo is good, but theres potential for improvement but still solid music.
