Good things come to those who wait? After releasing the debut album THORIUM was already placed as the newcomer of the year in 2000. The second long player Unleashing The Demons didn’t want to take off back in 2002 and now, after an adolescence of about six years Danish dynamite gets exported again. Well, the Danish five-piece had enough time…
One view at the cover… and yeah – the master’s stroke of the brush is smiling, a Dan Seagrave cover! Awesome :) Nearly everybody is able to think what hides behind this cover and wanna be unleashed: old school Death Metal isn’t to enchain! And it’s easy for the Feral Creation to blow the iron chains off. This may due to the well tried riffs and breaks used by THORIUM sometimes; however the mix consisting of old steel and new paintwork is a perfect match. Thus not every track mutates to an ultimate skull crusher like Epidemic Skeleton or Unbound are but they still have it oneself to blast a shock wave out of the speakers. The guarantors are easy to notice: MHA’s vocals sounds like Gorefest’s Jan-Chris ones, powerful, deep and clear, the songs alternate between mid- and up-tempo and the production done in the Swedish Berno Studios, in which Amon Amarth and The Haunted also recorded their killers, kicks hefty the creation’s ass and makes it to what it should be, feral. Between you and me: even though THORIUM isn’t the band the metal heads have waited consciously for six years, all other than the birth of this Feral Creation after this incubation period would have been disappointing.
