MALSTROM
Obligated by Obscurity

http://www.malstrom.net
 
Punishing metal from New York, Malstrom has a power thrashing sound that recalls bands such as Nuclear Assault and Kreator.  "Obligated by Obscurity" contains five tracks and has thick guitars, menacing vocals and yet possesses enough melody to make listenable multiple times.  Vocalist Jeff Jardine sounds similar to Mike Petrozza from Kreator, which along with the thrash overtones makes them a good comparison.  All five tracks time in at over 5 minutes, allowing for breaks and time changes which showcase the technical diversity of the band.  This is most evident on the track "Eleven" which features some excellent guitar work from Mike Capasso.  Closing track "Into the Maelstrom" would be best described as a defining signature song that would make an excellent ending track in a live setting.  Overall, Malstrom has delivered an initial solid CDr that could very well garner some metal label interest.

Track Listing:
1-Shatterer of Worlds
2-Eleven
3-Expire
4-I Am Become Death
5-Into the Maelstrom
