REGICIDE –
Fall of an Empire
Independent
Regicide
is a word that sounds good to my ears and it is a name that fits to a speed/thrash
metal band. The meaning of the word means killing a king and I think that in a
way it also explains why the band chose to name its debut album “Fall of an
Empire”.
In
a debut release I personally expect to listen to a band with a certain enthusiasm
and of course some good ideas transformed into good songs. Also the playing
skills and how tight the band is are important. From what I listen to “Fall of an
Empire” I am convinced that REGICIDE have true passion for metal and manage to
transmit this to the listener. Musically now their sound moves on a path
between speed and thrash metal blended with a few punk and traditional
elements. There are times that they sound like early SLAYER, METALLICA and
others like EXCITER. Personally speaking I think that REGICIDE also have some
elements from the German scene and most specifically some early RUNNING WILD
and DESTRUCTION elements. Finally all the guys sound well skilled and REGICIDE
is a well bonded band.
“Fall
of an Empire” might be a typical sounding speed/thrash metal album, but this is
not bad since it has good moments and shows a band that can do a lot more in
the near future.
