Alastor
Crushing Christendom
[Barbarian Wrath]


This is one of the most killer albums on a killer label. Alastor are goddamn rip your head off old school charging thrash! This is angry with a black metal feel. Fast and heavy like At War, Whiplash, Razor, Destruction, Kreator, with some Bathory/ Slayer headbanging thrown in (check out the godly "Witch Hammer"! Fuck it pounds!!!) Fave tracks are the catchy burners "Spawn of Evil" and "Necronomicunt".

The dirty, bass driven punches are raw and primitive like classic Sodom and Venom. You will kick yourself later for not getting this shiny silver disc with the cartoony cover art. That demon looks like an inbred retard. Limited to 666 copies, and the last track is a Whiplash cover.

By the way, this sort of reminds me of Gospel of the Horns'"The Satanist Dream" and Destroyer666 "Violence Is The Prince Of This World", maybe just because "Crushing Christendom" is as great as those.
