Demo IV (Self Released)

 Nuclear Throne is a quite new Finnish band formed in 2008 and this work I’ve got in my hands is the band’s fourth demo and latest release… Just by looking at the cover art, you’ll get an idea of what the three compositions this demo includes are all about; pure war-worshipping Black Metal at its finest expression. Nuclear Throne delivers here a very interesting form of no-bullshit Black Metal, full of aggressive melodies and brutal Death Metal overtones, where the mid to low tone vocalizations in unholy communion with semi-complex structures, a killer drum work and a brutal, yet precise, riffing assault, creates three tracks and eleven minutes of Satanic sonic massacre… The technical level of this band is certainly remarkable, which complemented by a clear and powerful sounding production, becomes a trademark on this demo. This work is one of the most impressive demos I’ve heard in a while, the band’s intelligent and well elaborated proposal in conjunction with a top-notch production is not the kind of stuff we’re used to hear on a demo work. The music on “Demo IV” is quite original as well; even when we can intentionally find some traces of influential Finnish bands such Beherit and Impaled Nazarene, the music of Nuclear Throne sounds fresh and coherent… The only thing about this demo is that I would really liked to hear a more extense work; the eleven minutes this demo lasts are too short to fully appreciate the power of this infernal proposal… anyway, this demo had just blown my fucking head off… What else can I say? I strongly recommend you to get this demo (which is entirely available for download at Nuclear Throne site www.nuclearthrone.net), I guarantee you will not be disappointed. (AP)
