Birth A.D/I Blame You/Unspeakable Axe Records/2013 CD Review


  Birth  A.D  are  a  band  from  Texas  that  plays  a  very  old  school  form  of  crossover/thrash  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "I  Blame  You"  which  was  released  by  Unspeakable  Axe 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  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  are  coming  out  of  the  guitars  and  at  times  they  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  hardcore,  punk  and  thrash  together  with  the  end  result  being  80's  style  crossover  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  or  leads  present  on  this  recording.

  Vocals  are  all  hardcore/thrash  style  shouts  and  yells  with  some  gang  style  back  ups  being  utilized  at  times  as  well  as  some  samples,  while  the  lyrics  cover  violent,  hateful  and  political  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  old  school  sound  with  the  album  sounding  like  it  could  of  easily  come  out  during  the  80's  and  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  Birth  A.D  are  a  very  great  sounding  old  school  crossover  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Equal  Opportunity"  "This  Scene  Sucks"  "Wrong  Again"  and  "Parasites  Die".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
