Acridity - For Creedom I Cry (1990)

An obscure Texan band, who released this six tracker in 1990 and were never to be heard from aagin. This is a better than average thrash workout that reeks of obscurity, exhibiting clasic aggression with Carroll's vocals that have a hint of dark Angel's Ron Rinehart. There's nothing spectacular here but it's nice that the band experiment with some mid tempo structures rather than resorting to hyper speed. There's also a strong feel of early Metallica, especially on 'Beyond', which is probably the main reason the band loitered in limbo, clearly finding it hard to find an identity. 5.5/10
