MDD\/Sound Pollution<\/p>\n
Japanese thrashers RIVERGE are not latter day followers, but 1985 originals themselves. Back in the day they released a few demos and singles, and toured with the likes of OUTRAGE and SABBATH before calling it a day in 1988. Their creative break actually lasted till about now. Four guys and one girl, can\u00b4t tell who\u00b4s who by their names, but here goes some Old School Bay Tokyo \u2026or?<\/p>\n
Shoji Nakamura\u00b4s vocals haunt opener \u201cThought Free\u201d. Their punk roots shine through, with a dash of early ANTHRAX. The vocals make me sick though. The drums courtesy of Katsuyuki Matsumoto equally haunts \u201cTill I Die\u201d. I must confess to only enjoy three tracks, the forceful \u201cStavish Charge\u201d, and the no less frantic \u201cHungry Child\u201d and \u201cDual Attack\u201d. The overall sound leaves a lot to desire, they may hail from 1985, but today\u00b4s simpler technology makes for better album than this. The closing traclk is crap confusion and leaves most people puzzled I believe. I believe they need to dust themselves off before the next album\u2026if there will be one. <\/p>\n
