DIE HARD [Swe] "Evil Always Return"

Taking their name from a Venom song, these Swedish maniacs play old school black/thrash in the vein of Barathrum, Possessed, Sodom and "Kill 'Em All" era Metallica that is fueled by beer and Satan. "Evil Always Return" features Watain drummer Hakan Jonsson donating his services. The hoarse vocals of Andreas "Hasse" Hansson remind of earliest Sepultura, circa "Morbid Visions" and "Bestial Devastation" and to a lesser degree of Unleashed frontman Johnny Hedlund. This is bestial black/thrash with some minor death metal leanings. The playing is fiery and most tracks are quite catchy.
