This band is the latest Retroactive signing. What do you think?

Sounds good, well played. They can definitely handle their instruments, but the vocals are a bit hardcore-ish for me. The name needs to go, it reminds me of Ayreon.

Hey..
Arnion..
they are from a city near here...
we played with these guys in 2006

it´s a great band from Brazil...
among Violator, Aborrenth, Scars, Torture Squad, Andralls and Demolish ( laughs )

....very nice band

I like it!
Good songs and I like the vocals as well, but have to agree with GrandNational on the name.

Good music, but I wouldn't say its thrash.

Ha! I knew someone would say it. That's what I thought as well. What would you say it is?

They have a good sound but I would agree with Lurideath its not Thrash.More Groove related I think.

I would too chime in on the 'groove' , but I can see the kids these days thinking this is thrash, as a couple of young guys say Lamb Of God and Pantera are "awesome thrash" . I just smile.

Have them on my myspace site not bad!

Oh, no!!!!

Yah, it's pretty decent. I can hear HINTS of thrash influences, but I'd say they are more of a power/groove band than plain ol' thrash.

I bet they listen to AT THE GATES more than they do EXODUS.

Seems more like melodeath to me.

They can listen to whatever they like, but the old school tag that seemed to be implied by the press release doesn't really fit IMHO.

I'd jusr call them metal. No real categorization with these guys.

I like what I hear on their MySpace page.

i would call them the same as a band like Devildriver. modern metal. it's definitely not traditional thrash. it sounds good though. it has elements of thrash, death, hardcore, etc.

@ Scottm

eh, not really my deal. Not into the groove.

I have the CD to review. Not bad. Has hints of Cowboys-era Pantera, early Machine Head, etc., but also does have a ton of thrash influence mixed in.

Which lead to the question: When does your update come up Scott?

Uhhhhhh, it's going to be a loooong while. I need to come up with $200. My computer crashed a few weeks ago and I had to reformat the hard drive. I lost Dreamweaver and need to repurchase it. My version was very old anyhow.

Man oh man. We should start a small paypal fund for you. I bet if everyone chipped in $5 bucks here, it would help.
