Thanatos is a band from Netherlands, formed in 1984 and has five released albums, being the fifth album "Justified Genocide", bringing in the compositions whole metallic knowledge that the band acquired during the years... and these knowledge are evident in the great quality of the songs. "Justified Genocide" is a Thrash Metal album, but with Death Metal elements that increase a merciless brutality in the final result. The songs don't have a lot of likeness some with the other ones, therefore the band feeds the sonorous structure with an incredible variety of riffs and variations of weight with velocity. "Justified Genocide" is a potent album that shows us through an excellent recording an impressive sonority. The timbre of the instruments has a sound that allows the band to show the versatility of the compositions, therefore in the moments of extreme brutality the band reaches Death Metal limits through furious Thrash Metal riffs. In the moments of weight the band gets to sound with intensity while sonorous aggressions are delineated by strong sonorities. The sonorous variations and tempo changes happen naturally, therefore the potent riffs converge for intense bases and the bases converge for riffs successions and more riffs that explode the tympanums. "Justified Genocide" is an album that prevails a Thrash Metal wrought in the fury of stormy riffs and in the insanity of a cataclysmal Death Metal. In some moments you think that is hearing a Thrash Metal band with Death Metal influences, but in other moments you feel the ears a Death Metal band with Thrash Metal influences, therefore the versatility of the songs becomes "Justified Genocide" an album of extreme, sounding like sonorous genocide, diluting in the voracious riffs the musical logic to perpetuate the Thrash Death Metal fury! And when you think that the album is over... prepares the ears for the cover "The Burning of Sodom" (Dark Angel). Destruction, chaos and creation! I recommend! Excellent! (Fernando)
