5.0 out of 5 stars Slayer's ignored Canadian cousins, March 16, 2003

By	Colin S. Reid (Regina, Saskatchewan Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Soldiers of Misfortune (Audio CD)

Thank heaven for Canadian content and live clubs, otherwise I would have missed out on this band at thrash metal's height. They were essential to my musical diet of the time. They had a large cult following in Canada, and rightly so. If only they'd have made it a little bigger, maybe they'd still be with us today as a unit. As it stands, they left us with four fantastic albums which show a rapid evolution of style, from the early Slayer-esque raw thrash of "Torment in Fire", to the more technical "Forward to Termination", to THIS fine album, combining thrash back together with "regular" metal, to their last, "Apocalypse Inside", a riff frenzy. The last two albums are my favourites, with this one edging out the "Apocalypse" by a nose. Look no further than the title track, "Soldiers of Misfortune" and you'll find why the people who knew of them loved them so much. "Soldiers" is easily the most diverse album of the four, but make no mistake, this is a thrash band. And this is their epic.
