PROPHECY - Legions Of Violence

Artist:  Prophecy
Album: Legions Of Violence
Year:  2008
Genre:  Thrash Metal

The “re-thrash” wave that began around 2000 produced bands that were almost clones of those that came before.  Since some of the original masters changed their ways or were having difficulty reproducing the stellar quality they once maintained, it was kind of cool hearing young, motivated bands do their take on their thrash metal heroes.  Didn’t like the latest offering from DRI?  Check out Municipal Waste or Possuido Pelo Cao.  New Destruction or Sodom boring you?  Listen to Avenger Of Blood or Violator.  Brazil’s Prophecy would like to remind you of how great Testament was on their first two records, as they emulate Testament’s signature big time crunchy riffs, speed to burn rhythms and wonderfully growled thrash vocals.  If you told me this was a new Testament release, I wouldn’t have doubted it for a second. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?  With that said, the new Testament is a pretty damn great record, so you should go buy that too.

Listen to "Empty Life" here.
