Krossbreed - Carved In Stone MCD (Self Release) Review by Steve Green

Krossbreed are an unsigned band from Belgium and this is their 3rd demo release. Their biggest success to date was winning a battle of the bands comp to represent Belgium at the 2007 edition of Wacken. A competition in which they ended up in a very respectable 4th place, out of 15 bands.
And the Metal mad market of Germany is where I'd say Krossbreed would have the most success. Original they most certainly aren't, but they do have something about them that your average Metalhead will find endearing. Vocally, they veer more towards the thrashier trends of the mid 80s, perhaps a little like early Metallica, with a touch of Sepultura, pre-
Roots and the music too, switches from mid 80s Thrash to something a little more Teutonic in nature. One thing that's always present though, is melody. And I guess that's why I like them. They have a certain air of familiarity about them and the music is easily accessible.
 I don't need to be bowled over by every cd I hear, sometimes a bit of straightforward Metal is all you need. Not bad at all! www.myspace.com/krossbreed
