Dark Phantom
Nation Of Dogs
Symbol Of Domination
United By Chaos
This album was my blind pick to write this review. I did not make any research about the band before I pressed a play button on my hi-fi and it was good idea to do so. While the album was playing the strange vibe of music has started to become dense. I realized it did not sounded much like European or American kind of metal and I could not wait anymore and checked out about the band. I do not know about that but Dark Phantom claims to be one of the first thrash metal Iraqi band.
What I like about this album is how it works guitar wise which is their way of thrash metal. There are some riffs that are significant to atmosphere of that native culture and region which gives music pretty unique style and climax. It is even more showcased in clean and very original vocals they put here. So, with aggressive and little melodic music approach I got good taste of thrash and death metal that sound a bit differently than other records I used to play on daily basis.
The things I am not so much into are death metal vocals which are very average and monotonic. I think this album would be a way better if there were only those clean vocals I mentioned before.
The drums sounds pretty the same. It has repeatable beats that totally lacks of any changes in style of drumming which thrash metal is and should be known for.
Nation Of Dogs have good guitar parts and solos. It also has interesting clean singing and few catchy moments and songs (2, 3, 4, 8, 10) when they try to gain little of your faith in their music. But towards everything else that is happening on the album I blow hundreds of question marks asking them, is this the way of doing it best you can?...
