Savage Messiah have a slightly more progressive/modern slant on thrash compared to say Evile or Gama Bomb,but without pandering to the metalcore,modern metal crowd.
Singer Dave Silver does sound uncannily like Dave Mustaine at times,no bad thing in my opinion.in fact this record is like a souped up,steroid injected version of Megadeth!
The riffing on this cd is top notch with twists and turns on every song,making sure they keep your full attention.
My only slight criticism are that a couple of tracks veer a little too close to S/Y/L or Machine Head type sound,but i'm been hyper critical here!This is a excellent release and well worth buying!

Big ball riffs man, that's all I have to say.
14 Dec 2009
Format:Audio CD
Holy thrash revival... Although their band is (intentionally?) named after an Arch Enemy song, Savage Messiah are not another melo-death worship act, but one of the current wave of bands re-doing thrash metal with modern production and a hindsight perspective on what works for the genre.
Think equal parts Testament and Cowboys From Hell-era Pantera, with healthy quantities of (old) Metallica and Megadeth thrown around. Obviously one could also point out the influence of Kreator, Exodus, and a million others, but for everyone's sake I'll keep this a review and not a novel.
The Testament thing comes across really strongly in the riffing, but also in the production values, as Savage Messiah seemed to have learned from 1999's The Gathering that thrash is best when thick, meaty, and tighter than a witches cleft. Everything on Insurrection Rising sounds killer as a result.
The Pantera elements are clear as soon as the vocals come in. People often wonder what happened to Phil Anselmo's voice after Cowboys From Hell. Well, it sounds like he gave it to Dave Silver of Savage Messiah. Also similarly to everyone's favorite Texans, Savage Messiah show no fear of sliding into some acoustic sections with bluesy or melodic solos. Their songwriting shows just enough variety to stay interesting while keeping the thrash engine rolling.
The Metallica and Megadeth influence, well... can you really even write thrash metal without sounding like those bands in some way? Big ball riffs man, that's all I have to say.
You might think by reading this review that there is nothing new to hear on Insurrection Rising if you already own Master Of Puppets, Rust In Peace, Cowboys From Hell, and The Gathering. You're right, there isn't. I don't think Savage Messiah's goal is to revolutionize anything though, and they re-deliver thrash in such a great way that it's worth letting those old classics log a bit of shelf time while the new dogs show you what they've got.
OUR RATING
(4.5/5)

Great new thrash record.
26 April 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Really enjoyed this one. Good mix of old school thrash with more modern influences. These guys should be the premier UK thrash band.
Highlights would be Corruption X & Insurrection Rising
There is the odd filler song on there but generally very consistent.
Great vocals & Riffs!

Why it took me 2 years to find this CD I don't know but I'm glad I found it. This is a must for any fans of bands like Testament, Overkill, Death Angel, Megadeth, etc. Great sound and great songwriting. Keep an eye out for their new release in early 2012.
