RUMPELSTILTSKIN GRINDER.....Thrash Surprise


It took me approximately a minute and thirty seconds to get past this bands name. RUMPELSTILTSKIN GRINDER is a mammoth group with a sound that touches on so many different levels of " fast " metal. LIVING FOR DEATH, DESTROYING THE REST IS a record that incorporates several different sounds to achieve a solid and unique sound. The first track NOTHING DEFEATS THE SKULL starts out with almost a downtown style groove that is reminiscent of BIOHAZARD. GRAVEYARD VANDALIZATION on the other hand is more SLAYER-ESQ in its guitar approach. From here on this record surprises again and again. Some of the riffs are more rockin than metal which is a nice departure from the norm to be quite honest. This album has everything from ACDC type rock riffs to sheer metal mania. However, all of these attributes are incorporated in a way that really holds up. These guys do a nice job staying in context with their sound especially with the thrashier stuff on this record which seems to be their sound base. SPYBORG is pure thrash thru and thru as is BEWARE THE THRASH BRIGADE. When I hear this record I hear ANTHRAX, SLAYER, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, COC, METALLICA, BLOOD FOR BLOOD, BIOHAZARD, and even brief glimpses of IRON MAIDEN. And to be fair this band puts it all together in a sound that is truly their own. This is a Metal Masterpiece....The new video @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFoKzI9WPUA
