Potential Threat SF/Civilization Under Threat/Old School Metal Records/2013 CD Review


  Potential  Threat  SF  are  a  band  from  San  Francisco,  California  that  plays  a  mixture  of  old  school hardcore  and  thrash  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "Civilization  Under  Threat"  which  was  released  by  Old  School  Metal  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  blast  beats  being  utilized  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  old  school  New  York  hardcore  and  Bay  Area  thrash  metal  together  to  bring  back  the  sound  of  the  80's  with  some  melody  being  thrown  into  the riffing  at  times  as  well  as  a  brief  use  of  soft  and  clean  playing,  as  for  the  lead  guitars  they  are  very  melodic  and  old school  sounding  thrash  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads,  as for  the  classical  guitars  which  are  only  used  briefly  they  use  finger  picking  and  full  chords  to  add  more  variety  to  the  recording.

  Vocals  range  from  hardcore  style  shouts,  aggressive  thrash  vocals  and  clean  singing,  while  the  lyrics  cover  violent  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy,  old  school and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording  with  some  of  the  songs  being  long  and  epic  in  length.

  In  my  opinion  Potential  Threat  SF  are  a  very  great  sounding  heavy  and  old  school  thrash metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Destroy  And  Dominate"  "In  For  The  Kill"  "Behold  The End"  and  "Rise  Of  The  Apocalypse".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
