Thanatopsis - Initiation (CD)

A fresh and modern version of death/thrash Metal!

"This is a head-banger in every sense of the word. From the squealing guitars and frantic riffing, to the blasting gargantuan thump of the drums and bass, to the fiery and unforgiving vocals, Thanatopsis nail the the heavy elements flawlessly." (www.gbhbl.com)

"A devilish mix of evil Death and belligerent Thrash there to help the medicine go down... The guitar work of Dave Couch on this album is devastatingly good. Thom Hall and Jason Adam Borton’s combined rhythm section is like one of those Godzilla movies when all the monsters just rumble in the middle of the city. No building is left standing and the citizens run for shelter in the hills. Also, the bassline on “Initiation.” Someone please keep the mushrooms away from the bassist. I should also note that John Bishop is a consummate Thrash vocalist — gritty and guttural, very shouty but also articulate." (metal-temple.com)
