Eternal Armageddon--Black Thrash Bastards demo {Self-released}
This is Eternal Armageddon's second demo to see the light of day and the band originally started out playing a melodic style of black metal.But with the new demo "Black Thrash Bastards" the band has gone more for a thrashy blackend sound which is done extremely well and played with a lot of good drum patterns and guitars.The drums start out at a mid paced range before speeding up to a faster beat The guitars are in the same vein starting off with a lightning speed intense riffs but are not to over the top and do know when to slow down to a heavy metal guitar speed.This is a great demo from the Bangladesh band hopefully they will stick with this style and put out some more great music in the coming months or years.
