Ritual Carnage is the brainchild of Danny Montgomery who is
now a veteran on the extreme metal scene. Influenced by British giants like
Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, he began playing guitar in 1983
in the band Pagan Faith from Tampa, Florida. Since then he has been moving
back and forth between Florida and Japan where he now once again resides since
1993. That was also when he formed his new band Ritual Carnage together with
some Japanese friends. On this album the influences from the early British
metal scene can't be heard that clearly. Instead the music is mostly
straight-forward Bay Area thrash which is nice to hear. There are plenty of
exciting riffs that make you think of Exodus, Death Angel, Heathen and all the
others while listening to this album. Ritual Carnage is a little bit more
brutal and technical than some of these bands though with a touch of the sound
from the Florida death metal scene. Montgomery also has a very strong
characteristic voice that fit in very well with this type of music. He
actually sounds like a mix of a thrash metal vocalist and Iced Earth's
Matthew Barlow. For those of you who enjoy speed, technicality, melody, power
and brutality this is a very nice release from one of the best Japanese metal
bands of the 90's.
