ANTITHESIS

Dying For Life

Nightmare Records

2001 

The only other time I heard Antithesis before was their cut on the Massive Frequency Overload compilation some years back, and I wasn't that taken. So, you could probably understand my hesitation with listening to this full-length at first. Well, glad I did, otherwise I would have missed out on some great thrash-influenced progressive metal. There were many comparisons that popped into my mind while listening, the first of which was, of course, Tourniquet. But, I've got to say that Antithesis seems a bit more like Decision D than Tourniquet, in that there's more classic power metal along with thrash and progressive metal going on here. The singer's voice conjures up images of Rob Rock, which means that bands like early Angelica and Impellitteri, not to mention Iron Maden come into play. The lyrics deal a lot with Christians living in the real world, making Dying For Life more of a life application study than evangelical. Bottom line: this is a great metal CD.
