Metallurgical Fire My first metal was thrash metal. These guys do it very well. I love innovation in music, but I also love faithfulness to the old ways. Both are important. Our Legacy is pure thrash with all the riffs you need. Favorite track: Soul Devastation.

deejay_oz Excellent old school sounding Thrash. Close your eyes and it could almost be 1985 again. Reverential and a touch retrograde but still fresh and vital.

Ievgen Very strong well-prepared old school thrash metal reminding mid 80th. Nevertheless there is a big disadvantage - this band is from Russia, so I would call it Putin-metal. Unfortunately it's hard to perceive Russian bands apart from that political background. Favorite track: Mental Slavery.

Backstab 04:32
Going home late at night, Empty streets, no lights, Rats grin like wolves Watching you from their holes. Each of them alone is nothing, But in a pack, it's a real power - Staying side to side Waiting for the leader's sign. Goosebumps run all over your skin. THIS IS REALITY NOT A DREAM Your worst nightmare comes true, Fear is piercing you. The steps sound closer, Your heart beats faster, You feel inevitable disaster Becoming a reality. There is a scent of trouble, You see a flash of a knife They know you in advance You have no chance Goosebumps run all over your skin. THIS IS REALITY NOT A DREAM Your worst nightmare comes true, Fear is piercing you. ‘Someone else, but not me’ This is what everyone thinks. Back stabbed laying in blood, Did you expect this result?

I ponder every day Can our life go another way? Could I have done differently in the past? I come to a conclusion that with these thoughts, With that consciousness of another choice, I simply would not exist, There is no other way, in my mind at least. It is precisely our attitudes, beliefs and principles that guide us in a certain direction. And how we don’t want to change it. Show me your real self That you put on the far shelf, Take off your shackles, Escape the mental slavery. We are only running around in a circle defined by our consciousness. We are kind of blind and just do not see any other alternatives. We see only black and white without any shades, Never try the other side; never see the edge’s fades. At some point you decided, or someone decided it for you, that this is your way, but this is not for you. Only by changing internally, one can change the external life. I’m not saying that it will be easy, For sure it will be a fight. Fight and struggle with yourself and people around. Fight with this until the walls are leveled with the ground.

Our Legacy 04:30
Divided and torn to pieces, Shared but not with us, Cleansing of clever minds, A feast in the time of plague. No work, no money - Only slavery. Empire built on blood. We live in poverty. Crawling on one's knees Trying to survive Resisting extinction This is our life Ruins and poverty - our legacy Revolution and takeover. Power to the people - They always promise But never fulfil. All that you have They will take away, It’s never enough for them - Squalor is your fate All that we are proud of, Achievements from the past - They’ve created nothing But can destroy it fast

Ceasefire 01:01

Taken upon themselves All the knowledge of mankind For all history of existence Left us behind With the lost sense of being We are standing on the edge No more light in the eyes Feel myself so weak I have no more tears Have no reasons to live With the lost sense of being We are standing on the edge Soul devastation No salvation It seems that i've reached the dead end And i'm lost in a labyrinth I feel so down The lowest of the low With the lost sense of being We are standing on the edge

We were born to be free But oppressed since childhood By imposed rules - how to live. Whole life spent in resistance To the society’s pressure. They are scared of us, We look different and that brings me pleasure. Let's left 'em in the past Dressed in leather and heavy boots, Wind blowing in our long hair, Ignoring the rules that are for fools, We follow the instincts of primitive roots. You can’t control us, We are not soldiers - We are wild warriors. Shave your head And march in the ranks Swear your oath - it’s not for us. Dressed in leather and heavy boots, Wind blowing in our long hair, Ignoring the rules that are for fools, We follow the instincts of primitive roots. Give your orders to the others, We do not obey anyone. I will follow only my brother - We are bonded by blood. BONDED BY BLOOD!

Falling into a chemical paradise You see illusions with your own eyes. Weak brain under pressure Searching for artificial pleasure. Trying different ways: Smoking, swallowing, sniffing, Getting intravenously - Excited about tripping. Chemicals running into your blood Reaching your weak brain, Pulsation is increasing in your heart, You surrender to your bane. Watching a beautiful sunset Under upside-down mountains, Stars are blinking purple and red, You feel streams from heavenly fountains. You see the moving walls, Scared to be constrained, Then everything is crushed by wrecking balls - You become frustrated You are going on, Increasing the dose, The heat growing in your body, Blood running from the nose. Chemicals running into your blood, Exploded your weak brain, Pulsation is increasing in your heart, You feel fear and pain.
