Alltheniko is an Italian band, and this new Millennium Re-Burn is their third album at My Graveyard label. Alltheniko are well known in their country for their solid without compromises thrash sound, but this new CD offer us a new side of this power trio!!! This Millennium Re-Burn is still thrash and furious with some episodes of 'thinkable metal music'. A sound not so fast, but still heavy and well played and an example of this expression is the song No More Fear where the lyrics are inspired by Dante Alighieri's Divina commedia. In some ways this musical maturity reminds me Sepultura during the Chaos A.D. period, where their sound became slow but heavier!!!!
But anyway, let's talk about this CD that starts with the usual intro and immediately Spirit Of The Highway will burn our speakers!!! In some ways this song remind me the Raven of the '80s. No More Fear is still a great song, a true metal anthem with a particular special guest: Gord Kirchin from The Exalted Piledriver that sings in Italian!!!!! Harold (Will Survive) has a solid riff, loud as hell drums, a real killer mid-tempo tune. Metal Lord is simply a declaration of love to their musical influences, a serenade to who create this music! The Inner Self is a trip inside ourselves, where a catchy chorus will penetrate in our minds and make this song one of the best episodes of this CD! Army Of Nerds is return to their thrash roots, Hide In The Dark will follow the musical traces of the first tracks of this album, and for me is the best song on this CD. In The Name Of The Cross is the other track where the lyrics are influenced by Dante Alighieri, and this is another killer song with breaks and time changes!!!
Broken Wings is another killer mid-tempo with an epic sound structure, and the last song Re-Burn closes this album in an excellent way - fast and heavy!!!
An album well done,well played and my congratulations to Joe Boneshaker (guitars, keyboards), Luke The Idol (drums) and Dave Nightflight (bass and voice) for the their Will Of Change.....
