MAZE OF TERROR – Ready to Kill
Empire
Records
MAZE OF
TERROR is a band from Peru, but I can say that in a way they have a relation
with Greece. The band was formed in 2011 and so far they released in 2012 an EP
under the title “Skullcrusher” and a split CD in 2015 with AMKEN the Greek
thrash metal band that you should also check out (and this is the Greek
connection I mentioned above). The band after all these felt ready to try to
release a full length album and the result of this effort is the full of
meaning album “Ready to Kill” which I will present to you here….
THE COVER: This is an old school looking cover that is handmade. I underline this
because in our days most of the covers are made on computers and this is at
least something fresh and looks natural. The cover is really simple and
straight to the point. It shows 4 winged demons escaping from the fiery pits of
hell and looking ready to kill. I think that the 4 demons symbolize the members
of the band, but you can give your own interpretation.
MUSICAL STYLE: The band plays thrash metal that is
influenced by the 80’s scene, but also it has a modern touch that is used in a
way to underline their old school influences. The band’s sound can be described
as riff driven with guitars that sound like a swarm of angry bees and solos
that drive you insane (and this is good). There are also some blast beats that
are flirting with the death metal sound. Musically the band has a character,
but in my opinion they can be compared with groups like DESTRUCTION, SEPULTURA,
KREATOR and SLAYER.
CONCLUSION: “Ready to Kill” is by all means a
very good debut album full of great riffs. The most interesting thing though
with these guys is that they create thrash metal songs that stick into your
mind and over time you will like them even more. It is an album that I can personally
recommend to you.
