Protector play a melting pot of black thrash and death, vocally gruff at times lending itself to the black metal wilderness as well as bands such as Pestilence but it's a sound I enjoy, particularly on this debut record which is a mere twenty-two minutes, but worth it all the same. The title cut attacks like a chainsaw, some excellent time changes, and 'Holy Inquisition' picks up the pace even further. Protector certainly seem very serious on this debut record, providing the listener with cutting edge thrash that would last a handful of records, the band keeping that same vicious facade, although by 1993's 'The Heritage', their battering ram of thrash had an even more deathly edge. Good stuff.
7.5/10
