Executer are and old-school Trash metal band hailing from the country of Samba and carnival: Brazil. Although the sound has some hints of Death Metal here and there, it remains faithful to the 80´s school of Trash metal.

After a short intro "Lost Angels" deliver us some good 'ol Trash metal riffs, the voice is kinda raspy, but not so raspy to be consider as a shriek, reminds me of Kreator in some parts, which is good. "Suffering And Pain" is another old-school Trash metal song, nice, but too attached to the basic formula to me.

One thing I noticed here are that the band deal with very strong social issues in their lyrics, songs like "No More Racism" (I think the title speaks by itself) and "Black September" (dealing with the terrorist attacks in 11/9) show us that these guys have a strong social conscience.

Besides some stand-out tracks like "Lost Angels" and "Psychotic Minds" the whole album is too typical and it tends to get boring in some parts, too much of the same everywhere, gladly they kept it short, because I think I couldn't bear an hour of this. So, That's the news for today, don't get this unless you're a Trash Metal freak that needs to have everything that smells of old-school, and if you do, get this because this one reeks old-school.
