Outside the big four, unquestionably one of the best thrash metal albums of all time. The power of the riffs and transitions is out of this world. The vocals don't hinder the experience, as happens in some good bands of the genre. On the contrary, the powerful vocals of David Sanchez, who is a mix of Tom Angelripper from Sodom with Tom Araya (specially in the screams in the middle of the songs like in "D.O.A." and others).
"Prepare for Attack" is a good start for this work. A Speed riff with an agressive vocal of David Sanchez.
"Scumbag in Disguise" is another highlight of this album. The dry hits of the drums at the beginning with the riff following them are addictive, and the chorus is wonderful. For me, the best track in the album.
"D.O.A." It has a beginning that reminds me of a power metal song, but then the violence of the guitar makes the thrash sound echo in the ears. The "Dead on arrival" part that David repeats incessantly in the song in the final moments is outstanding. An amazing song.
"Time is Up" has a bass transition right before the start of the vocal part that reminds me of that great bass line in Megadeth's "Take no Prisoners" also right before the vocals. A good track too
In the end, is a fantastic thrash metal album, bringing the old school thrash sound with no innovations. 90/100.

데뷔 앨범 Burn 때의 Havok은 스래쉬 메탈 리바이벌의 흐름 속에서 나름 전도가 유망한 밴드중 하나에 지나지 않았다. 그랬던 그들이 두 번째 앨범 Time Is Up에서 급신장된 역량으로 돌아와서 매우 흡족하게 생각하고 있다. Burn에서도 Havok는 복고지향적인 밴드에 해당되었지만, 이 앨범에서도 ... Read More

2000년대에 탄생한 밴드들 중에서도 고전 Thrash Metal도 정통 Heavy Metal 마냥 리바이벌 붐이 분 가운데, Havok은 아마도 그중에서도 가장 주목받는 밴드가 아닌가 싶다. 이들의 두 번째 앨범 Time Is Up이 까다로운 스래쉬 메탈 마니아들에게서 호평을 받은 이래로 나 역시 이 밴드에 흥미를 가지게 ... Read More
