This is unbelievable... If you love the thrash era of the 80's (Metallica, Megadeth etc..) then you have to hear this band. Perpetual State Of Aggression is one of the best Thrash metal albums I've ever heard after the 80's. And the most amazing thing about Metal Militia is that the band is only between the ages of 17-19 years old! Metal Militia, from the state of Florida has only been around since 1999. Just a couple more reasons why my jaw has not been picked up off the floor yet. This album gives Metallica's "Kill em all" and Megadeth's "Peace sells... But who's buying?" a run for their money.
The riffs on this are Razor sharp thrash/speed metal. Something this good is just too hard to explain in detail and yes even though it totally sounds just like Metallica (band is named after a track off Kill em all) who really cares? I don’t, I love this! a band so young and play this style of metal? that’s rare in itself today. "Darkest day" has a pure headbangin' metal riff so tasty you'll crave more like your favourite meal of the week. "Slave of darkness" kicks some serious ass with its Slayer like speed and Kirk Hammett style Solo.
Now that you've heard all this, this leave's me with just one question? Why haven't Metal Militia been scooped up by say Century Media or Metal Blade? Even after having played Milwaukee Metal Fest and shared the stage with bands like God Forbid, Nile, Hate Eternal and Arch Enemy you'd think something would have to give sooner or later. All I have to say is Metal Militia will ink a major label deal soon. No band this young and talented can go unnoticed for very long.
