Lääz Rockit
Left for Dead
Rating
Style: Thrash Metal
Release date: July 25th 2008
 

The Bay Area quintet, not of the most well known (yet), makes with this album, the first one since 1992, a comeback with style.

Lääz Rockit sounds like they are lost in the 90's and this is nonetheless utterly positive. Their thrash reminds me of the sonority Pantera had back in the Far Beyond Driven days, and they are both at times harsh as Slayer, others powerfully groovy as Black Sabbath in Dehumanizer; with rhythms that challenge the ear, they even thrash out Led Zeppelin's 'Kashmir' in one of their new tracks. 

I read somewhere their comparison to Slipknot; I wouldn't have thought about that myself; to me, Lääz Rockit brings back something lost with the emergence of the so-called nu-groove bands.
