The Batlord

So far it sounds pretty generic. Like, vocalist aside if you told me any one of these songs was a new Exodus/Slayer/Overkill/etc track I'd believe it. They all just sort of chug along with that modern reformed thrash band heft and production that can get pretty faceless if their aren't any solid ideas behind them. Exhorder are doing a solid job of that kind of thing with some commendable fire and visceral riffs but I don't know if this is above a 6.5. Maybe a 7 if they pull a few songs that are actually memorable out of their ass (I'm about a third of the way in).
