Almost Dead - "Brutal Onslaught" - Reviewed By WOM ! Check it out here at this link: https://worldofmetalmag.com/wom-reviews-killing-engraver-ritual-sacrifice-heavy-metal-addicted-live-in-bahrain-vol-2-the-flesh-trading-company-almost-dead-aggravator/
Even without assuming itself as one of the top proposals coming from the USA, the Almost Dead have released thrash metal albums full of groove with some regularity. "Brutal Onslaught" is already the fifth and does not represent major changes in its formula let alone a revolution for style, but this will not be problematic for those who like this aspect and for those who like the way thrash metal, even with groove, walks very close to death. The only problem we can find here is even the duration. It's not that the album isn't varied enough to do so – "Downfall" and "Lost My Way" are two of the themes that help that dynamic – but in the end it could benefit from pulling out one or two themes.
