SAURON "Satanic Assassins" CD (BREW021)
The "Lords Of Slaughter And Warfare" are at it again and their sophmore campaign demonstrates they mean business. Carried by a chainsaw bass that has been sorely missing in Metal since the glorious days of SLAUGHTER and VOIVOD (though ORDER FROM CHAOS did come close...) and driven by relentless drums, blistering guitar and roaring vocals this most basic of all possible band line-ups rips through the 7 songs of this album like a Demonic "Possession". If you like the dark, chaotic and haunting side of Thrash Metal you can't go wrong here. Released on Witches Brew in December 2008.
