ASPID - EXTRAVASATION
A RUSSIAN TECHNICAL MASTERPIECE.
Aspid was an obscure band from Volgodonsk, Russia. They only released one studio album back in 1992 titled Extravasation before slowly fading away from the by then dying metal scene. When you listen to Extravasation you can hear from the very first haunting intro to the last seconds of Krovoizliianie (Extravasation) that this album is something special. It's fast, intense, technical and aggressive.
Simply all things we love stirred into one unforgettable album.
The album is sung in their Native Russian language which adds to the albums eerie and somewhat exotic sound for a Swede like myself. This sounds a bit like if you mix the Swiss thrashers Coroner with let's say late 80's Sepultura.
Maybe not as technical as Coroner but this is played with more aggression.
The album was largely forgotten until it was rediscovered recently by people who scanned the darkest depths of the internet for some cool steel from the eastern bloc. So it was well into the 2000's that I first learned about this album. Extravasation is my favourite thrash metal album from Russia and one of the best thrash metal albums to be released during the 90's. This album has been sped up and re-released so don't get fooled when you're looking for this album. The original intended speed is just perfect. So check it out if you're into tech thrash or prog thrash.
