The Beast Within is the third demo from the swedish thrashers
in Vilefuck, hailing from the town of Västerås. The band
formed in 2004 but the current setting didn't take form until the spring
of 2006 and in June this demo was recorded. Vilefuck deliver thrash,
and by just looking at the song titles you get a nice idea on how this
sounds, it is raw, brutal, fast, yet melodic and without any chance
of compromise in sight.
First song out, Thrash And Destroy, is a fast and brutal
attack that nails you to your seat. We are dealing with old-school thrash
with angrily screaming vocals, but still they manage to include a melodic
sense with both vocal-line and the furious guitars that give a nice
touch to their sound. And this goes for all songs, as well as Cast Down
From The Throne that on the other hand is a more restrained song that
is held back in tempo compared with the opener. It goes along with a
nice Bay Area groove that is reminding me of Exodus and Slayer.
The title track The Beast Within is a straightforward
march with an ongoing rhythm. Some great riffing in this old-school
thrash hammer carries the song forward. Last song on this demo is the
ass kicker Unstoppable Force, it is fast and aggressive and the vocals
are not that far from Mille Petrozza. With the furious start, it reminds
me of Gung-Ho from Anthrax while the guitars and song-structures confirm
once again that Vilefuck uses Kreator as influence.
The songs might differ a little from each other but the
sound is overall kept intact and Vilefuck never spread too far and keep
it all together with a homogenous touch and this is old-school thrash
the way it is supposed to be. I don't know if that was what they intended
with the production as well, but that is how it sounds. Not the best
sound on this demo, but more of a suiting old school sound. Vilefuck
got their gear under control, but more distinct solo parts and more
harmonies from the guitars should be the right thing for these guys.
This is good, however it is far from perfection. The songs
kick ass and if you are a friend of thrash this will get you banging,
but the songs could use some more profile in order to make a lasting
impression.
