'Metal Ride'
Looking west is Canada's (err-hem Quebec's) new coming Death/Thrash quartet (photo is out of date) Mortor. Sticking to the basics of Death/Thrash Metal they make the music more ferocious and destructive, by making the bass more audible, combining and mixing crazy solo's and inserting very deep vocals with perfectly timed percussion beats. This is not your average Death/Thrash musician collection but rather an army on it's own ready to unleash brutality over Planet Metal and take it on the 'Metal Ride', hold on folks its going to be a bumpy ride and remember to keep your hands and feet inside the 666 zone at all times.
[10] RHYS STEVENSON
Need a fix of 90's thrash with a dash of the modern metal that is well executed? Then look no further. Mortor are a 5 piece from the Ottawa-Gatineau region, that bring a sexy mixture of thrash with modern metal elements to the scene. They have released their CD Metal Ride to the world and it is going to be like a chopper screaming down the highway, taking out anything that is in its way, and leaving a blood trail in its wake.
Having discovered this band during the night of their CD release, I must say it was a delight to the ear. They shared the stage with Accursed Spawn, System Divine, Augury and Aborted.
The album was engineered and mixed by Chris Bonavia and mastered by Matt Connell, who has worked with other bands such as: Deamon, Fuck The Facts, Exhumed and Remnants of a Deity among many other talented artists. Their knowledge and experience at the helm proves its worth on this fantastically produced recording, as all parts are clear and well defined without any compromise between the different instruments.
This 9 track full-length release is unrelenting right from the gripping opener Swallow My Hate that propels its listener into a head banging frenzy with its catchy riffs and tight drum grooves. If you enjoy classic thrash metal in the vein of Obituary, Sepultura and Slayer then I?d bet my first born child that this album will interest you!
