ANUBIS
These Ancient Halls [7]
(2006) Demo

These guys are lost in the huge hole between modern and retro-thrash. Still searching for the perfect touch for their music. And on the two first tracks on this demo they almost got it, and they are the most interesting songs on this demo. It's some sort of heavy mid tempo thrash with heavy metal influences. I think they try to find the sound Vision Bleak has taken but want to make more thrash-inspired. If they work a bit harder on the egyptian themes and start add some egyptian scales and stuff like that maybe their search will be complete. The vocals are very personal and unique and really fits to the music and give it a soul of its own. The rest of the demo, especially "Terrorfever" is more regular heavy/thrash. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that I think they shall stick with the egyptian themes and sound from the first tracks because those will give them a more unique and personal sound. I don't think the retro-thrashers will like those songs but we who are more open minded might think it's pretty cool and very unique. At least I do.
