- Label(s): Iron Bonehead Productions
- Release Format(s): 12" vinyl, CD
- Release Year: 2021
- Review Date: October 12, 2023
- Author(s): Ricardo
In my review of the predecessor of ‘The Atonality of Flesh’, I described the debut as ‘the beautiful stench of the Blackened Speed/Thrash you’ve heard on ‘Bathory’ is all over the place during the very first till the very last second’.
I bet you are wondering if Reaper have changed their formula…well, you can bet your sweet goat they haven’t! One calls it Black Metal, Speed Metal, Thrash Metal or a hybrid of these styles, but one thing is certain, with Reaper it is 1984 again.
First Wave with a pinch of D-beat and some occasional NWOBHM approach equals good listen.
