Ragestorm are a band from Italy that plays a mixture of melodic death and thrash metal and this is a review of their self released 2013 album "The Thin Line Between Hope And Ruin".
"The Meatgrinder Theory" opens up the album with chainsaw sounds before adding in heavy guitar and bass riffs along with some drums and melodic guitar riffing as well as adding in samples before the death metal growls kick in and you can hear the bass guitars and after awhile high pitched screams make their presence known and they also lead up to some guitar solos halfway through the song and towards the end the music starts adding in fast parts.
"Debt Ritual" begins with heavy guitar and bass riffs along with some spoken word samples and drums and then screams start to kick in a few seconds later and a minute later guitar leads start coming in and out of the song as well as some death metal growls and melody and towards the end more guitar leads kick in.
"Polysilicotetrapropyvinylflourethalene" starts up with deep death metal growls, heavy guitar and bass riffs along with some drums before getting a little bit faster along with a brief use of blast beats and high pitched screams which leads up to some melodic guitar riffing.
"Moloch" kicks off with some clean guitar playing before adding in some heavy guitar and bass riffs along with some drums, growls and screams and after awhile gang shouts start coming into the song and towards the end there is a brief use of acoustic guitars before getting heavy again and adding in a solo.
"Idiocracy" hits off with heavy and melodic sounding guitar riffs and drums before adding in some blast beats and screams as well as some melodic guitar riffing and powerful sounding bass guitars which also leads up to some growls and a minute later guitar leads come in and out of the song.
"Acid Tears' has its start with heavy and melodic guitar and bass riffs along with some drums and blast beats before adding in some screams which leads to the music going into a mid paced direction and as the song moves on it starts utilizing some solos and leads and towards the end there is a brief use of sound effects.
"Hari Seldon's Speech" has its beginnings with some spoken word parts and sound effects and synths and a few seconds later drum beats start to come in along with electronic music elements and halfway through the song guitar riffs start to come in along with some melodic elements.
"The Thin Line Between Hope And Ruin" has its openings with heavy guitar and bass riffs along with some drums and a few seconds alter growls, screams and melodic guitar riffing start coming into the song before going into a faster direction and halfway through the song there is a brief use of acoustic guitars before getting heavy again and adding guitar leads into certain sections.
"Soldiers of A Lost War" opens up with melodic guitar leads and drums kick in a few seconds later along with some bass guitars and then the music gets heavier along with some growls as well as some screams and melodic riffing.
"New World Disorder" begins with some heavy and melodic guitar and bass riffs along with some drums before adding in some screams and growls and halfway through the song t here is a brief use of spoken word shouts.
'Reaching The Impossible" which is also the last song on the album starts up with some drums, melodic guitar and bass riffs along with some screams and growls and a minute later guitar solos and leads start coming in and out and towards the end piano's and violins violins are added in for a few seconds before getting heavy again.
Song lyrics cover real life and everyday themes, while the production has a very strong, powerful, heavy and professional sound where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording.
In my opinion Ragestorm are a very great sounding hybrid of melodic death and thrash metal and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this band.
