Guest review by

Evil Unleashed starts out with a clean, mostly instrumental intro, reminiscent of Iced Earth, "Overture: The Dictate", and then explodes into the first real song, "Versus The World". And the song truly makes you feel like you could take on the world. Aggressive, chugging guitars over a steady, aggressive pace into the chorus, with Guillermo Izquierdo's gruff - yet melodic - vocals soaring over the hanging power chords of Izquierdo and second guitarist David G. Alvarez.
"Gone Away" is a perfect song to illustrate a little different direction for the record, with a chorus that seems almost heartfelt. The main drive of the song comes in the fast, pedaling guitar riff, which passes through the pre-chorus, into a slow, rhythmic guitar riff topped with aggressive-yet-emotional vocals, and eerie lyrics. To pay homage to their forefathers, and demonstrate their love for the classics, they included a cover of "Domination" by Pantera.
All in all, this album starts Angelus Apatrida's discography out with a killer punch. Plenty of modern flavor, to keep the feeling fresh and plenty of classic elements to show these Spanish metalheads' loyalty to tradition. If you don't have this album, or haven't heard it: Get it!

Thrash is most times average but Angelus Apatrida and Megadeth make it the most badass genre ever invented.
