Andras
Sword Of Revenge
[Last Episode]


Imagine buzz-saw guitars with a moderate level of noise attached to them forsaking basic riffs and a more thrash/speed metal oriented sound and instead attempting to create more melodic soundscapes and something that, if stretched by the imagination properly, could be affixed to the sounds of the Swedish death metal scene, then, imagine blackened rasps fighting for supremacy over them and you have Andras, a promising metal band from Germany.

Andras are very capable at creating high quality instrumental and ambient pieces as well as music with a blunt metal sound with a touch of melody for added effect. Great musicians can be found in Andras, it is very apparent within their music, although judging from this release it seems their full potential has yet to be tapped.

A good band to be on the look out for in the future, -Sword Of Revenge- isn't essential, but those looking for some new metal to quench their thirst may want to check it out.
