VEIL OF MOURN

Long-overdue vinyl reissue of the cult lone album of Australia's Rampage. There's a distinct ruggedness to the band's ceaselessly shifting style of thrash. Mind you, NOT necessarily "rawness" - although the album's production certainly tends toward the rough - but Rampage's execution eschews the super-clean sharpness that thrash metal was largely heading toward in the post-Master of Puppets era.
