ArchiTorture: Spare no one
25/07/13 || Pr0nogo
Now this is a fuckin’ thrash record. ArchiTorture, from Finland, chucked their first full-length out the window during a practice session where they proceeded to cover every Slayer song ever, and it landed on K’s beard while he was walking through the forests of Västerbotten (he lost his horse again, I reckon). K of course sent that shit to me, and since I like K and thrash, I gave it a whirl. I wasn’t disappointed, but I had no expectations anyways, so I guess that doesn’t count for shit. Anyways, this is pretty much a case of a thrash outfit trying to match every old-school thrash outfit (when they were good, that is), and while I certainly have heard “Spare No One“ over and over again, it’s a nice bit of nostalgia where I can reminisce about the days of yore when thrash metal was just coming out.
Or rather, I can hypothesize about what those days were like, since I was only born in ’94. Those days must have been the actual shit, especially if most bands out there sounded like ArchiTorture. If you’re in need of a dose of old-school thrash, which the band so kindly labeled themselves as, then definitely take a listen to this record. Otherwise, leave “Spare No One“ with the rest of the Sodom clones and get off the pot. I need to take a shit.
7/10: My toilet is still broken from that battle with Lucifer’s iron cockrod, after all.
Listen here.
After going thru that crap, you most likely wanna read something way more interesting. You do, admit it.
