As I said before what truly makes this record remarkable is the way the guitar acrobatics fuse with strangely elegant vocals, or at least ones that go a fair sight beyond your standard thrash shouts. At their best they are almost reminiscent of Joey Belladona of Anthrax. Meanwhile the rhythm section is just hectic and there are all sorts of crazy fills which add a lot of flavor to the songs like Becoming the Alpha. They add an unexpected punch to a lot of tracks and its part of what keeps Alphakills music so darned interesting. Their sheer technical capability allows them to go places that many thrash bands could never reach.
In conclusion, this collection of nine chaotic thrash metal tracks show a lot of potential from these Winnipeg natives. As far as debut albums go it features a surprisingly tight overall sound and I'm curious to see if they can further streamline it in the future and add further emphasis on the technical parts. With tons of heavy riffs and chunky little rhythmic germs this band should be able to take on a new stage, going above and beyond their local scene and tour the nation. Unimitigated Disaster is tight and very promising, it will be interesting to see if the band can add to their trademark ferocity and technicality in the sequel!
