| The debut full-length by this Chilean band. This quartet maintain such a classic sound, drinking deeply of Metalīs rich history, and yet exude a freshness of approach that results in something legitimately, respectably modern. "Striking the Bell of Death" is full, furious proof of that, exhibiting absolutely masterful songwriting while roughening it up in a manner almost blackened (but not too much!). As such, the record comes highly recommended to maniacs of classic Razor, Whiplash, Exciter and Deathrow (Germany), as well as current torchbearers like Desaster, Gospel of the Horns, Deathhammer and Barbarian. |
