 "Ghostwalk is a very varied album where death and fusion blend quite well, creating a rather original sonic mix."

 The rhythm guitars "often simple and more in the line of death/thrash rather than techno-death... make the compositions slightly banal and predictable."

WAYD's fourth album Ghostwalk mixes death metal with fusion, offering inspired guitar solos, dynamic vocals, and jazz-flavored bass. While diverse and original, some rhythm guitar parts feel simplistic, making certain sections less impactful. Despite flaws, the band shows considerable potential for future work. Listen to WAYD's Ghostwalk to experience a bold fusion of death metal and jazz influences and discover a band with promising potential.

 The ideas that were hinted at in the previous platter "Warp-zone" have been perfectly developed and completed, to create an exceedingly personal sonic mix.

 Have they fed the abscess? Affirmative!

Martyr's third studio album Feeding The Abscess stands as a significant milestone in technical death metal. The band builds upon previous efforts to craft a unique and mature sound that blends Meshuggah-like rhythmic complexity with François Mongrain’s exceptional bass and guitar work. The album highlights Martyr as leading contemporary composers within the genre. Listen to Martyr's Feeding The Abscess and experience a breakthrough in technical death metal mastery.

 One of the most beautiful yet unknown technical Thrash albums ever conceived in the history of metal.

 It’s a pity that afterwards, nothing more was heard from Target.

Master Project Genesis by Target is a standout 1988 techno-thrash album highlighting technical skill and dynamic musicianship. Influenced by Watchtower, it balances intricate guitars, prominent bass, and strong vocals. Despite its quality, Target remains largely unknown, making this album a hidden metal treasure. The reviewer hopes for a reissue to bring it back into the spotlight. Listen to Target's Master Project Genesis and rediscover this hidden techno-thrash masterpiece from the late '80s!

 A true lifeline for me, the album requires many attentive and repeated listens to be fully absorbed.

 One of the best 'metal paintings' of the year, brilliantly interpreting techno-death with a personal touch.
