Krossbreed exists as a band from 2003 and since then they have some
releases with the latest one, the “Carved In Stone” EP / MCD.
From the first listening and while the first track of the release
“Legacy” comes on, I assumed that this is a thrash metal band but more
down tempo, but after a couple o minutes some metal core influences
came up, element that seems to be not bad, because it fits well with
the whole music of Belgians.
In the same music motive is the second track of the EP, entitled “Leave
you Bleeding” with more thrasy elements, in the vein of Sodom, but with
some good, melodic licks also. Next track that comes up is the
homonymous track, that despite the fact that has a very up-tempo intro,
in its evolution, becomes slower and close to Pro Pain’s music. The
forth track entitled “Right Were It Belongs” sounds as the previous
tracks as well. The MCD closes with the track “Means To An End” that
sounds close to Pantera’s music style.
In general, the MCD is a release that will appeal many fans of the
hardcore / metalcore / thrash scene. Is a nice effort without something
special, that would make it unique
PS. The fisrt 100 copies of the EP will also contain an extra DVD featuring the live percormance of the band at Wacken Oper Air 2007 and more.
