After spreading out 3.5 albums on four labels over the past decade (The .5 happens when you re-record your first album despite it being less than 10 years old. Come on, guys!), AVENGER OF BLOOD returns with Revenge Is My Name on M-Theory Audio. The title track, however, recoils like a turret-mounted .50 cal, reminiscent of early WARBRINGER and LAZARUS A.D., never a bad thing. A death-tinged churn begins ‘Throes Of Temptation’, vocalist/guitarist Sal Lalli spitting out his best Mille Petrozza once the speed kicks in, and ‘Til Death Do We Thrash’ is the ‘Toxic Waltz’-styled anthem every band of this ilk needs. Closing with ‘Unraveling’, this tasty appetizer platter’s got more going for it than it doesn’t. Worthwhile.
