With acts like Bulldozer and Schizo in the 80s and nowadays acts like Satanika and Extirpation the Italian scene has its share in the Black/Thrash category throughout history.
“A Damnation’s Stairway to the Altar of Failure”, which was first released on CD by Triumph ov Death and a year after by Redefining Darkness on cassette, is a mix of the Teutonic Thrash Trinity, first wave Black Metal and Voivod twists.
The Voivod influence will be the hit-or-break part for the listener, if Voivod is on your “hell yeah!”-list you will enjoy the twists, otherwise it is better to keep on listening to some Desaster, Nifelheim or Deströyer 666 albums. (Ricardo)
