The
horde of Swedish death / thrash metal bands is quickly growing larger and
larger and so is the number of Swedish bands signed to the Italian company
Scarlet Records. Inrage, the latest addition, was born out of the ashes of the
band Lost Souls in the year 2000. Lost Souls released two albums, one on
Roadrunner Records and one on Nuclear Blast, before splitting up for one
reason or another. Inrage is very aptly named since their debut album contains
nothing but rage and fury, except perhaps for a decent amount of well executed
riffs that smells strongly of 80's Bay Area thrash with a nod towards more
commercial contemporary metal. This album could perhaps have been one of the
most interesting metal releases of the year if it hadn't been for the fact
that it has already been done plenty of times before. Armed with simple yet
efficient riffs, powerful vocals and a thick sound courtesy of the respectable
Studio Underground these Swedes still display a competent edge and will
certainly appeal to fans of bands like Darkane, Terror 2000 and Soilwork. The
cover art was also conceived by the former keyboard player of Soilwork, Carlos
del Olmo Holmberg. Inrage offer nothing new but "Built To Destroy" is a nice
album with fully enjoyable neo-thrash from start to end. Stand-out tracks:
"Gift To Restore".
