Review: Never heard of this band, but I'm glad I have their debut album now because they are a true metal band, with a great potential. Although it is said all bands from Scandinavia are sure to receive tons of deal offers from record companies just for the fact they're from a good region for metal music, Searing I prooves us wrong as they are around since 1999 and have 4 demos released before signing with the ever-growing Greek label Black Lotus Records. Searing I is truly a great thrash metal band, a band to become popular in no time. It is said they are the new revelation of the Sweedish thrash metal scene, but don't they all are, hahaha? This time Searing I are a tharsh metal band that goes on new, melodic and very technical patterns and have almost nothing in common with the old way of thrash metal, so the kids might dig this a lot. Their guitarists are good in creating catchy riffs that are so in fashion at the moment, the rhythm section is impressive, massive and faultless, and the vocalist is using angry, semi-growling, understandable vocals which are a plus as well. Some death metal influences in rhythm are present, but the best way to label Searing I is to put them in the New Wave of Sweedish Thrash Metal. A forceful album that will be deeply appreciated by any fan of aggressive, fast and metallic rhythms.
