A.R.G. - World Without End (1991)

This is some truly snarling thrash metal emerging from the deepest recesses of Polish lore. A.R.G. only released a brace of albums, this one being a tad more assertive than the 'Entrance' (1989) debut. Fans of the likes of Kreator will like this record especially the sneering vocals of Tepa Karjalainen but the whole product is delivered in quite belligerent fashion but it's also thinking man's metal too with the epic title track being an in-depth mind blower of varying tempo. The likes of 'Stray Bullet' sees the band in full chugging flow but most of the songs on this obscurity are worthy of any thrashers time. Not a lot more to say about this sort of record but the harsh, almost rugged feel of the production means this opus offers a nice gnarly dose of scything thrash metal mayhem.
7.5/10
