THUNDERWORKS Thoughts & Thunder

ThunderWorks is an American band led by Michael J. Amari who is responsible for all music on this album and he also play all instruments himself, while vocal duties are taken care of by Belgian vocalist Brandon ‘Voidspawn’ Leigh. According to the press note by the band their music is a melodic blend of thrash, progressive and death metal inspired by bands such as Metallica, Dream Theater, Opeth and Kataklysm. To be honest I don’t hear very much of any of those bands in ThunderWorks. It’s pretty straight forward thrash/death metal with a dark atmosphere. ‘Thoughts & Thunder’, which by the way was mixed and mastered by J-F-Dagenais of Kataklysm, is by no means a poor album but the song material appears as a bit anonymous and is simply not strong enough to stand out from huge masses of extreme metal albums being released these days.
