​Centrate
Ritual
Independent

Here is  well deserved debut album of German thrashers. If you wonder if they sound like Kreator or Destruction then you are about half way to get to the point of the album. The other half is that Centrate bombards you with motives that you likely heard from Bay Area sounding albums like old Exodus, Slayer and Polish Soul Collector. In general that`s the point of the album here but let`s be clear. Centrate are doing their own way for sure . Bringing distinctive and aggressive German sound they highlight originality of their music. Adding catchy and energetic riffs to their songs, they making Ritual sounds a way more entertaining. It`s quite important they wrote few very good melodies and placed them into the songs but measure it with aggression and dynamism. Those characteristics let their music spreads the hell over your room to another point we know as THRASH and that`s what we want!
Vocals are pretty well executed here and fit music very natural. Lyrics are absorbing my attention while reading them and they can be some badassery with it sometimes which is great for metal.
 
I am glad to hear they gradually writing better songs with each release but before everything goes even more perfect, here is a track list you should go through and listen if you want to like this album as I honestly do:
 
01. Voodoo
02. In The Face Of Death
03. Forever Mine
04. Soul Collector
05. Old Man’s Table
06. Infected
07. Kill Till Death
08. Revenge
09. Ritual
10. Exorcism (Bonus)
 
Centrate are fucking awesome thrashers and have done very well with this particular album so do not torture yourself, go buy the album and bang your head against the wall.
