Thornspawn
Blood of the holy, Taint thy steel
[Baphomet/Necropolis]


Ah, the long awaited full-length album is here for the general public and what a glorious album it is. This CD makes me want to ride into a medieval battle with a sword raised to the sky. Some people might slag this off as just another crappy CD from the mega-conglomerate, Pantera backed Baphomet-Necropolis Inc. but this could be the album that saves their reputation from going further into the depth of toilet bowl. Take equal amounts of the Australian barbarians, Baltak and the Norwegian Adams Family, Tulus and mix well until it becomes a homogeneous mixture. Throw in some Polish type drumming and what you get is the new Thornspawn album – a raw blasting machine. I really hope that Merciless gets the courage to license this album for vinyl… Now I have to check out the new Summon album…
