Aggression Treaty marks the debut from this power band out of Turkey and I have to say that it is one that caught my attention. For an young, independent the record sounds pretty polished and professional and I don't hear many bands coming out of Turkey.
The first thing that's going to hit you like a sledgehammer listening to this is going to be the guitar sound. Probably one of the heaviest guitar sounds I've ever heard recorded and it's delivered in a sort of post-thrash way that reminds me of later Accuser and maybe a little of Early Machine Head. There's often some rather modern breakdowns in the mix but at other times it really thrashes out. The vocals are often semi-harsh growls that remind me of Wargasm while at other times shifting to a deep and powerful delivery that recalls Matt Barlow. Pretty killer sound here and the band definetely shows a great deal of promise. The riffing here is just immense and the vocals are pretty cool. I'd say the one flaw with this release is that at times the songs sound a little splintered. This will likely work itself out in the future though as this is their debut album. Certainly a band to watch and I'd recommend this to anyone who likes very heavy power/thrash. Would probably appeal to fans of Wargasm or Meliah Rage as it sounds like a more modern version of both with some power metal thrown into the mix.
Highlights: Unfair, Dream Within A Dream, Nightwolf, Under Siege
Rating - 3.5/5
