Product Description
Content Introduction Angelas Apatrida, who emerged from Spain, a barren land for thrash metal, and quickly rose to the forefront of the scene, release their first new album in three years. The fact that the album title bears the band's name suggests absolute confidence in its quality. This album is 21st-century thrash metal, boasting moderately melodic vocals, tight playing, and high-fidelity production. Angelas Apatrida is a leading thrash metal band from Spain. Formed in 2000, they are already veterans of 20 years. They made their album debut in 2006 with 'Evil Unleashed'. Armed with extremely modern and technical thrash metal, they quickly made a name for themselves in the extreme metal world. The following year, 2007, they released their second album, 'Give 'Em War', and signed with the major German label Century Media. They completely changed the perception of Spain, a country that was not particularly known for its thrash metal scene. Backed by Century Media, the band embarked on a further winning streak with their third album, "Clockwork" (2010). They continued to release powerful albums such as "The Call" (2012) and "Hidden Evolution" (2015), while also undertaking energetic tours, and in 2014 they accompanied Rotting Christ and Havoc on their Japanese tours. In 2016, they returned to Japan on their own. This new album, released approximately three years after their previous work, "Cabaret de la Guillotine" (2018), bears the band's name, suggesting absolute confidence in its quality. The four members, who have continued to perform together for 20 years without any member changes except for their very early days, have a strong bond, and their chemistry is clearly evident in their tight playing. The moderately melodic vocals, solid riffs, and high-fidelity production give it the feel of 21st-century thrash metal. Despite being a European band, their style, which exudes the intelligence and power of the Bay Area, will surely appeal not only to thrash metal fans but also to heavy metal fans. The Japanese edition includes a live take of a Slayer cover, "Antichrist." [Includes Japanese liner notes/lyrics translation] [Members] Guillermo Izquierdo (vocals, lead/rhythm guitar) David G.
