ADX - Suprématie (1987)




Speed Metal is very often a hazy term that gets misplaced on bands that are actually thrash or far worse on bands like Devildriver(kiss my arse Scrubs!!1) but this band are pretty much a perfect definition of the term and they focus on playing traditional metal at fast speeds and picking up where songs like "Aces High" and "The Sentinel" left off. This release from them can probably best be penned as the French version of the US band Abattoir with a similiar melodic approach to vocals.

Highlights here include the title track, "Le Jugement De Salem", the more brooding, mid paced piece "Broceliande" and "L'Ordre De Sacre". Most of the songs deliver the goods and it's a solid disc. The French lyrics might put off a few but it's their loss as this is great metal.
