Criminal – White Hell

Releasedate: 27-02-2009; Label: Massacre Records
By: Sabine van Gameren

Criminal is a thrash metal band from Chile. They just released their sixth album called “White Hell”.

The band formed in the 90’s and has been thrashing their years full of music. With influences from all these years in their music “White Hell” is an album that opens up straight with the right passion of thrash coming from the heart.
That drums are just awesome, riffs come out quite nice as well and the altogether production is smooth, not too raw, not too polished. Just right!
The album is speedy, like someone walking after you with a whip in his hands, make you walk fast, just not running to death yet. It is good to see that the album came out as one piece. The songs are logically ordered and are in the same trend. Melodies are not left out while the thrash comes forward.

Splendid album, brought by these guys from Chile. Surely worth a try!
