I have one question, why is Hemoptysis not signed to a major label? this band has produced what I consider a perfect Thrash metal album. the album is called "Misanthropic Slaughter" And it contains 11 blistering tracks, it's thrash at it's finest. the band is fronted by singer and guitarist Masaki Murashita, his voice reminds me of Kreator's lead singer Mille Petrozza. thrash isn't the only style showcased on the release, Hemoptysis blend heavy guitar melodies along with thrash, melodies that reminded me of early Iron Maiden. and the guitar duties are held by Masaki, as mentioned earlier and Ryan Miller, the solo's are explosive, and intricate. the bass work is handled by Sunao Arai, and Travis Thune plays drums.
Most of the time I point out a few standout songs in my reviews, but this CD is one of the few that I can play all the way through, no fast forwards here folks. and the CD packaging is top notch. so far his is my favorite release of 2011. this band that was dubbed 2009 and 2010 "Metal Artist Of The Year" by The los Angeles/Phoenix Music Awards has a very bright future in the metal world. for more info on this band check out www.hemoptysismetal.com and www.facebook.com/hemoptysis.
