In The Shadow Of Swords is some excellent thrash with strong groove. Now, I don't listen to a ton of thrash but it's albums like this that make me really think I should. This album is very well written, strongly performed, professionally produced, and of course, ass kicking. Wrapped into the grooving thrash base is plenty of melodic variety and some sweet hints of death metal on a few tracks. All of these elements are tightly bound, though, and create a very solid sound.

When an awesome song like Jawbreaker made by Judas Priest sounds horrible and boring when played by a Thrash metal band, you know this is going to be quite boring, and after listening to this album a couple of times, that becomes a fact.

Written by Daggon on 01.06.2013 at 00:16 I quite like their cover of Jawbreaker, at least it's better than Sabaton's version... Ugh.

Great ideas thrown around here and there and flows well. Nothing very exciting about this though. Edit: tracks 2, 5, 7, and 9 have some sick sections.
