Brazil’s APOKALYPTIC RAIDS are the ultimate in Hellhammer/Celtic Frost worship. Raw, rabid, and unrepentant, their sound on The Third Storm is squarely between the namesake MLP by Hellhammer and Celtic Frost’s eternal Morbid Tales. However, APOKALYPTIC RAIDS’ old-school attack is not meant as a rip-off; rather, it is a reverential homage to a classic era and two classic bands, done with a thorough understanding of these ancient metal masters. Here, with their third album, the band incorporated a greater concentration of more traditional-minded metal and speed metal, proudly declared at both the beginning AND end of the album by “I’m a Metal Head.” Despite this relative “advancement”, The Third Storm still sounds lke it could’ve just as easily come out in 1985..

APOKALYPTICS RAIDS de Brasil son lo último en adoración a Hellhammer / Celtic Frost. Crudo, rabioso y no arrepentido, su sonido en The Third Storm está directamente entre el homónimo MLP de Hellhammer y los eternos cuentos morbosos de Celtic Frost. Sin embargo, el ataque de la RAID de APOKALYPTIC no es una estafa; más bien, es un homenaje reverencial a una era clásica y dos bandas clásicas, realizadas con un profundo conocimiento de estos antiguos maestros del metal. Aquí, con su tercer álbum, la banda incorporó una mayor concentración de metal más tradicional y speed metal, declarados orgullosamente al principio y al final del álbum por “I’ a a Metal Head”. A pesar de este relativo “avance”, The Third Storm todavía suena como si pudiera salir fácilmente en 1985.
