The island of Cyprus is yet another small European nation now host to a burgeoning metal scene gaining some momentum, this one featuring quite a few acts on the power metal side. Breaking with that tradition a bit comes Blynd’s second album, and Pitch Black Records debut, “Punishment Unfolds.” This thrash-rooted, melodic death metal disc changes the formula with some symphonic undertones, creating another sub-genre to catalog away: sympho death/thrash!

i hear a metalcore influenced take on melodic thrash with the metalcore primarily manifesting in the guitar writing. they even employ breakdowns and breakdown style riffing in the 3 songs i listened to. i decided to check on metal-archives and im not the only one who hears metalcore in their music. i guess im just a purist or something, or, well, more like anti-core in my metal, because i like death/thrash and black/thrash and crossover. power/thrash is just alright More»

now!

This is a really good release from a small town Swedish band. A band that quit just the other day.

I don’t have the details about the breakup so I won’t comment on that. “Punishment Day” on the other hand, has been in my ears a few hours now. It’s a solid album packed with riffing, tight drumming and super-evil vocals. Sound-wise there’s nothing to complain about: the mix is clean but heavy. Style-wise I ended up thinking that this is some kind of Meshuggah turned heavy metal turned death metal. Don’t get too hung up on that simile though.

Once the lads from Sheffield finished their strong set, Metallica took the stage to the familiar strains of their longtime Ennio Morricone-penned opener, "The Ecstasy of Gold," and immediately brought their fans way back – as far back as possible – to the first song the band ever recorded, "Hit the Lights." They wasted no time further laying on the thrash with "Master of Puppets" and "The Four Horsemen." The much-hyped Ride the Lightning section arrived a few songs later, with the band performing the album in reverse, probably an easy decision for a record that ends with a long and winding instrumental ("The Call of Ktulu") and begins with as fast, heavy and precise a track as the band has ever written ("Fight Fire With Fire"). The song "Escape" received its world premiere, a somewhat shocking feat for a 28-year-old song, but hearing it live served as a sufficient reminder as to why it had been cast aside for so long.
