Not for pussies!\u003cbr\u003eThe Italian Black\/Thrash Metal masters Bulldozer has been called almost unanimously Italy's response to Venom. We would like to put that comparison to\u003cbr\u003erest because Bulldozer blows the socks off of Venom on 'IX'. Bulldozer do what most Venom worshipers did, but on this release they defiantly have more of\u003cbr\u003ean identity of their own.\u003cbr\u003eBulldozer had more good albums, but none of those reached the quality of 'IX'. Bulldozer albums prior to 'IX' had suffered from a bad production. We\u003cbr\u003eknow raw production adds to the Black Metal aesthetic but when the guitars volume changes when it is not supposed to it becomes an issue. The mix here is\u003cbr\u003ebalanced and the production is still very raw. This allows the instruments to roar, but still be at the correct volumes.\u003cbr\u003eThe music itself is much more thrash-sounding than previous efforts, but still manages to retain some black metal influences. A.C. Wild's voice is evil and raspy\u003cbr\u003eas all hell, which makes for some great blackened vocals. The obvious highlights are 'Desert!' and 'Ilona the Very Best'. These songs are fairly complex, have\u003cbr\u003egreat riffs, and awesome guitar solos, provided by Andy Panigada. These solos are fairly long by Black Metal standards, but we wouldn't have it any other\u003cbr\u003eway, as they feel quite powerful and epic and really complete the songs. That with the 'not metal' instruments often used give this album a unique sound.\u003cbr\u003eThis is an album any Thrash fan, Black Metal fan or even Speed Metal fan, should own. If you're already into these sub-genres, this is a great album, and a\u003cbr\u003emust have for your collection.\u003cp\u003eIX\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesert!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIlona the Very Best\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMisogynists\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeaven\\xe2\\x80\\x99s Jail\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRob \\xe2\\x80\\x9cklister\\xe2\\x80\\x9d\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Derby\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo-way\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Vision Never Fades\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54420533281153,"sku":"2394191","price":14.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/8715392243622.jpg?v=1750593235","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2394191","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
