SHOCK TROOPERS – Blades And Rods – CD (Punishment Records)

Second full-length album by Italian Thrash Metal/Crossover band.
It’s German style Punky and straight Thrash Metal, influenced by bands such as Tankard, Destruction and Assassin. The band handles their craft well enough. The main focus is in energetic performance. At best, it’s tight as heck. The vocals are good, heavily reminding of Tom Angelripper or Billy Milano. Musically, band makes bridge with Thrash and Hard Core, as rhythm structures are close to old school Hard Core, while solos and leads belongs to Thrash expression. This is a great stuff that they delivering is fluent, slamming and catchy, with cool chorus parts, hilarious lyrics and riffs that makes your neck dance, and your soul to mosh!
