Review: Terminal – Heavy Metal Lokomotiva (Ljudkassett 2014 MC)

 Ljudkassett continues to provide us with high quality stuff in the dearly beloved tape format. I think this might actually be their best release so far. Terminal is a tribute to the heavy metal of the eighties from the European communist block, and Tobias Lindkvist (Enforcer, Corrupt, ex(?)-Dead Lord) is the man behind the band. As no other band-members are mentioned, I assume that he's playing all of the instruments himself, as if the greatness of the music itself wasn't already impressive enough.

 Since I totally worship classic bands like Pokolgép, Aria and Magnit, this is nothing but pure gold. The way everything from the sound, production and atmosphere to the riffs, melodies and vocals are reproduced is just fantastic. Even the artwork and logo is just screaming 80's eastern Europe, nothing seems to be left to chance. You could say that this marks a whole new level of the so called “total worship”-concept, these two songs are actually better than a lot of the albums originally released back in the eighties. I'll pass on the grading since it's only two songs, but damn I hope we'll hear more from this band in a not so distant future.
