Revolution Within are quite the intense thrash metal group from northern Portugal that have recorded a demolishing new release called Annihilation. Certainly not newcomers as Revolution Within have actually been around since 2005 and this is the band's third album. When you have performed live as opener for the likes of Slayer, Megadeth, Kreator, Morbid Angel, Opeth, Trivium, Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth, Behemoth and Carcass well you clearly must be doing something right. Revolution Within demonstrate little restraint on on Annihilation with a take no prisoners metal onslaught of classic/modern thrash beginning with the title track "Annihilation" which sets the scene for the rest of the album, and sounds likes a volatile cocktail of Exodus,Annihilator and Lamb Of God. Annihilation is a real tempo shifter loaded with catchy riffs, highly animated drumming and vocals of the aggressive kind. Annihilation sure is an explosive metal album by Revolution Within, thought the band has included enough hooks to make you want to return for more of this musical barrage. I can't say this is one of the most compelling album of it's kind that I've heard yet Annihilation is very solid recording none the less.
