Review by Daniel for Metreya - Machines of War (2013)

This is the debut E.P. from these Aussie thrashers & it's bloody great! In fact, it contains some of the best 80's style thrash metal you're likely to find these days. The production & musicianship is top notch & the vocalist takes an aggressive approach which suits the band's sound nicely. It won't take you long to pick on Metreya's influences as they're pretty obvious (Slayer, Exodus, Dark Angel, Anthrax, Testament) but they certainly know how to create some energetic metal music with plenty of intensity. They were really good live when I saw them with Kreator & Death Angel back in 2014 too.
