AMORPHIA "Arms To Death"
AMORPHIA
“Arms To Death”
I didn’t know Tom Angelripper from SODOM had a little brother in
India! He doesn’t? Well, it sure sounds like Tom or somebody in his
family is roaring away in Indian thrash band AMORPHIA!
SODOM is the absolute best comparison you can make to this 3-piece.
They have the raw, uncomplicated sound of Angelripper’s boys around
the time of “Tapping The Vein” or “M-16”. This is basic,
unvarnished thrash...maybe sometimes a little too basic, but it packs
a punch and these dudes are not interested in showcasing technical
abilities...just pure brute force.
Simple song titles like “Nuclear Warfare”, “Toxic Death” and
“Army of Evil” hearken back to the glory days. Although SODOM is
the primary influence, AMORPHIA also remind me of ASSASSIN and EXUMER
as well. As much as I like their blunt attack, I think maybe they
should add a couple of extra frills in the future. Also, AMORPHIA is
NOT a good name for a band. Too much easy confusion with Finland’s
AMORPHIS, who sound very little like this.
Nevertheless, if you dig war-like German thrash of old, “Arms To
Death” should be put squarely in your crosshairs!
