People who think the young metalfans don’t like 1980s Thrash Metal anymore, will be surprised by the many underground bands who are still thrashing their socks off. Ashura from Italy is one of those bands and are aiming to please the listener with fast, enthusiastic and catchy Thrash in the vein of really early Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax and I even heard some Suicidal Tendencies ideas. Unfortunately only the first 3 tracks are dealing with the style I’m describing above which have good quality. If “Mindhood” would be an EP with those 3 tracks and a Megadeth cover (let say “Rattlehead”), I think Ashura would have a better start to get their name noticed in the pile of Retro-thrash releases.
