Poltergeist - Behind My Mask (1991)

A release from Century Media that at the time passed me by, but this is pretty decent Euro thrash with melodic vocals courtesy of Andre. Te title cut is a speedy rocker with chanted chorus, as oen would expect from so many '80s and early '90s thrash bands, but this is technical thrash witha hard edge,a nd one of those obscure releases that you need to discover so many years later. I'm not saying these guys could've been the next best thing, far from it, but with the complex structures of 'Delusion' and the wistful chorus of 'Drifting Away' suggested a band of amny talents who just never got the break they deserved. I don't know to much about Swiss thrash but this is good stuff. 7/10
