Review by Alex on June 5, 2020.

Originally released in 2007 then repressed by Careless Records in 2019, a modern classic of sorts, unknown to many (including myself) until now. We Will Fight! by Italian power/speed metal band Alltheniko is a go-round, a rotation of heavy metal eras and branches. Despite the power/speed metal tag, We Will Fight! has a lot more going for it than that, which in this case could either make or break the record. Some listeners like consistency, others like solid tunes and others like a bit of both.

What We Will Fight! offers leans more on the side that attempts to please everyone as far as the involvement of the genres are concerned. It has power, thrash, epic, black/speed ('Dead Brain (Extermination)') and even an attempt at death metal growls on the same song. In addressing the matter of consistency first and foremost, you won’t get that. The genre tag of this band is true to an extent, and Alltheniko make certain to represent it on tracks like the opener 'Thrash All Round' and 'Sound of Rust' seemingly influenced by Overkill. Then to insert the power metal via the melodic piece you could hear on the latter, sounds of a convincing and well put-together song. Not forgetting the guitar solos on both, they slay and provide some incentive for the listener to stick-around till the end.

As mentioned earlier, other styles commingle with the set intentions of We Will Fight! that is primarily a power/speed metal record. The epic power metal vibe of 'Sufferman' and 'Coming Soon' would cause any listener to re-investigate the band given how smooth they are put together as representations of epic power metal. Hence, the album at times instead of feeling instrumentally linear, bounces around from power to thrash to epic and the incorporation of all three sub-genres such as on 'The Silent Priest' does not make the task of labeling easy on occasions.

Cast aside genre-adhesion, and what you would end up with is a pretty decent collection of songs attired in an attractive array of fabrics. Some of the best tunes on We Will Fight! strike viciously in the form of 'Sufferman', 'Coming Soon', 'Alltheniko "We Will Fight!' and 'Criminal Mind' that compensate for the lack of focus on any particular playing method. The rhythm and melody Alltheniko are able to extract are mesmerizing and really make it easy listening to the album in its entirety. The vocals are cool too, its thrash metal themed mostly so it has a sort of shabby edge to it that works with the contrasting sung chants and surprisingly favorable clean singing aiding the power metal segments heard on a song like 'Sufferman' etc.

All in all, there's a fair amount of replay-value and if you could excuse the somewhat underwhelming production and amateurish organization then, We Will Fight! has some reward for you.

Rating: 7 out of 10

Bolu2 Death is not my regular cup of tea. Very far from it actually, and yet somehow they managed to put together something that I thoroughly enjoy. Most of the elements that I find here come from the styles that I try to omit and yet somehow over here they made it all work and done it quite well. These four Spaniards from Andalusia put something in motion that many tried - and even more failed in succeeding. They combined riffs, electronica and some sticky choruses into a new and fresh concoction bursting with energy and making it original and very much their own. Dualitas is the name of the album and hereby I invite you to most likely break your boundaries and expand your limits.

Heaviness of this record is what got me interested initially. Guitars put out groove laden rhythms with so much chug, that it makes it impossible to sit still but once they add those huge, devastating bass drops, spice things up with some techno squeals/squeaks and finish it off with a vocals that range from agonizing shrieks through metalcore screams and end with passionate clean singing (not all in one song obviously) and it’s done in Spanish or English or both, it makes a combination that seems impossible to keep your ass grounded. 12 tracks on this record and every one of them is a different approach to have your senses punished and your body shattered. One angry beast that one is! They probably wouldn’t get far without this album being recorded the way it is. All instruments and vocals, everything mixed and mastered and all put together in a way that it sounds superb. From what I could find on the web, Alex Cappa from Metal Factory Studios is mainly responsible for what we can hear on the album, and he’s also responsible for finding the sound that characterizes Bolu2 Death. I’m going to do some research and try to find out more about him and also find more about the band since I like this album more every time I listen to it.

Bolu2 Death Dualitas is an album that surprised me on many levels and changed my approach about this style. It also opened my mind and interested me enough to try and discover more in this genre and at the same time dig more through Spanish scene. Good job guys, keep it up!!
