Panikk/Unbearable Conditions/Metal Tank Records/2013 CD Review


  Panikk  are  a  b from  Slovenia  that  plays  a  very  old  school  form  of  thrash  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "Unbearable  Conditions"  which  was  released  by  Metal  Tank  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  not  much  in  the  way  of  blast  beats,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  are  coming  out  of the  guitars.



  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  thrash  riffs  that  are  heavily  influenced  by  the  Bay  Area  sound  with  some  melody  being  thrown  into the  riffing  at  times,  while  the  lead  guitars  are very  old  school  sounding  thrash  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads,  as  for  the  acoustic  guitars  when t hey  are  utilized  they  use  finger  picking  and  full  chords  to  add  some  darkness  to  the  music.

  Vocals  are  mostly  thrash style  shouts  and  singing  with  some  gang  back  up  vocals  being  utilized  at  times  as  well  as  a  brief  spoken  word  part,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark  and  violent  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  to  it.

  In  my  opinion  Panikk  are  a  very  great  sounding  old  school  thrash  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check out  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE "Dismay"  "Messiah  Of  Decay"  "Playground  Of  Visions"  and  "Cruel  World  (Society  To  Adapt)".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
