| Artist: Synarchy CD Title: Scars of Gratitude Label: Faroese Records  Arising from the Atlantic island chain, hailing from the Faroe Islands, comes the newest metal act to attempt to walk in Tyr’s steps, Synarchy, the first ever Faroese thrash metal band unleash the fury behind this Danish dependency, weaving operatic and atmospheric melodies with gritty down-to-earth thrash metal, this Faroese quintet prove that although the Faroese are not good at football, they make up for their metal brutality. The melodies on this debut album are outstanding, so much I feel they rival the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and the thrash metal, shall be envied by Slayer. Synarchy are one metal band that certainly is predicted to cause a storm in Europe, the talent is there, the music was always there, the opportunities, they will be there. Break-your-neck thrash metal is the best way to describe it; the vocals are as heavy as a ten ton weight and are as brutal as a over-spiced curry. The guitars, melodic, yet provide that electrical atmosphere, supplemented by the harmonies emitted from the keyboard, this tied up nicely by the expertly timed drumming, finalising this album as ‘in my opinion’, the best newcomer in the thrash metal vein this year. Synarchy are preparing to unleash their Viking heritage in thrash form over Europe, assume battle positions… 10/10 Written by Rhys Stevenson https://www.myspace.com/synarchy |
