Pure 80’s Thrash metal from Italy. Started in 1996 and doing a lot of covers in the beginning but wrote their won tunes soon. Their music today is still thrash but more mature and a bit rougher. Aggressive vocals, heavy guitar riffing with leads in tempo changing songs with melody. The songs can be compelling or just go blind in fury. Nice album with the necessary variety but nothing new invented in this style of metal. And as a bonus you get 2 live clips taken at Wacken Open Air 2004.

Methedras is a thrash/death band from Italy. The band formed in 1996, but has had several lineup changes. In 1999 an EP called “”Cost Of Life”” was released, but it would take the band 5 years before their first full-length was going to see the light of day. In 2004, the band recorded “”Recursive””; which is the album we’re going to look at in this review.

They have their roots in the 80’s bay-area Thrash scene. Traces from Death are also prominent; some of the melodies and rhythms would definitely get Chuck Schuldiner’s approval. All the tracks are well-played thrash songs, and the band has a great vocalist with Claudio Facheris, who has a good voice and sort of resembles Chuck Billy but with a twist. The guitar work is above average as well with a good mix of thrash riffs and soloing. I do have to say that the actual songwriting could be a bit more “”effective””, some songs tend to have one or two riffs too much which can sometime make the difference between a good or average track.

“”Recursive”” is a self-produced CD, which is something that should be admired these days since not many bands seem to have the willpower to go down that road.
