Almeida - 'Fantastic Massacre'
Here's another review from 'The Screever' issue two...
"These
boys from Southern UK are pretty sick; there are a lot of bands
around at the moment that fuse a bunch of styles into a technical
mash-up, but ALMEIDA (pronounced Al-May-Der..?) do so with a little more
skate-punk speed than most. It's a lot like PROTEST THE HERO
(including a similarly high-pitched lead vocalist), but with a more
melodic thrash-punk leaning, and a lovely horror / black-metal
vibe... and yes, it's as interesting as that sounds, and to mix
things up even more, there's a rather bouncy and quite lovely
instrumental acoustic track somewhere in the middle. They're not
afraid to write long songs, the title track running to over seven
minutes, but have some quite wonderful little melodies if you're
willing to find them. As a starter, check out the opener 'Kinslayer',
which is one of the shorter and catchier tunes. Highly recommended
for fans of PTH, but even folks into old BODOM and stuff may dig
this; a pretty solid self-release from a bunch of super-talented
chaps."
