This is pretty decent Finnish thrash that I never had the pleasure of hearing first time round - too much other thrash on my plate. Coarse thrash of cutting guitars, brisk bass and a few chugs thrown in for good measure. Refreshing, up tempo and very welcoming rather than being overtly grey or dull, some good drum work ('Subordinate People') and archetype thrashing ('Symphony Of Death'), certainly never reaches the high standards of '80s thrash but then again I don't think it wants to. Antidote seem happy to cruise along at their own pace, displaying intelligence and a genuine hunger to kick ass.Tuesday 25 January 2011
