  Pete Brown

  These guys are a Danish thrash band, and I found most of this album to be a lot of fun.

  I always have a soft spot in my heart for thrash; it was more or less my entry point to metal at the tail end of the 1980s, and Hellmaze does it pretty well. Think early Testament, but updated with some touches of the heavier sound they adopted starting with The Gathering.

  I appreciated the sense of humor here—I never felt like this band was taking themselves too seriously, as evidenced by the "OOGA-BOOGA MOTHERFUCKERS!" break in the first track.

  My only gripe is with the closing track of the album "Moshpit Bukkake", which I could have done without.
