'Blood Suckin' Woman', 'Grapes Of Wrath', 'Making Noise & Drinking Beer'....Darkthrone need to hear this! Can metal be this good yet so criminally ignored ? Tyrant, whoever they are, seem about as metal as it gets, churning guitars blowing black smoke, doom-laden drums and a vocalist who stirs like some evil behemoth and grins eerily into the grim sky before puking out some kind of glammy, sleazy, yet avant garde drool, that wouldn't be out of place on a Celtic Frost record.
This is gargantuan metal to slay a thousand dragons. File alongside Heavy Load and Overdrive, although this may well be first to the finishing post, because it's simply so dense. And by the time 'Invaders' kicks in with thrashy aplomb, you'll be left checking the speakers for debris. The next time someone asks you what heavy metal is...play this.
8/10
