After All - Dawn of the Enforcer, it is actually good


 You know that Thrash Metal isn't about Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax, or Kreator, Sodom, or Destructor. You should check the band named After All, it is from Belgium, formed in 1987 and, the album that I listened to, is titled "Dawn of the Enforcer". The opener is "Parasite Within", that has the usually great Thrash Metal riff, but the one thing that surprised me (in a negative way) is the vocal. For me, the vocal is not for the Thrash Metal, and if someone has a vocal character like this band's vocalist Sammy Peleman, he should be a vocalist for a Power Metal band, not a Thrash Metal band. In the third song, I found something that somehow similar to Lamb of God's "Laid to Rest" in the beginning of the song. The song "Spread the Infamy", a little bit reminds me of Anthrax, because of the guitar riffs, and the vocals that I now realized that it is similar to Joey Belladona's, and the seventh "Demolition Course", the guitar riffs reminds me of Kreator.

I can't talk more about any other song of this album, because it is almost similar to the others. You will get a Joey Belladona-esque vocals, a mix of Anthrax and Kreator riffs, a similar to Kreator drumming sometimes they also do blast-beats, and it is good. I can say that it is a hybrid between Anthrax and Kreator. I would rate this album an 80 out of 100.

Thanks for reading, and sorry for my bad grammar!!
