These young guys from I.C.S. really know what they are doing, to start off with the album front cover, Jesus with a few young girls in bikinis. I am sure there are few beers hidden as well, very cool and funny, for a band coming from Italy where most people are catholic and with the album title "Blasphemy National" that shows me a very cool attitude, and regarding the music, well they sound like an Old School Thrash Metal band but, with a brand new sounding. I should thank bands like I.C.S. and others like HAVOK, BONDED BY BLOOD, FUELLED BY FIRE for really setting the mark for the new era of Thrash Metal.

I listened to "Blasphemy National" over and over. Tracks like "Spiritual Dictators" with a very catching chorus, sharp guitars and fast pace. Then you go to a party, I mean "Foolish Party", I can smell the beer and the girls getting crazy, man its Thrash Metal at its best, and when you think it's all over, it is time to "Unleash The Thrash". At times I thought that I am tuning to a bit of old EXUMER, or SODOM, maybe a little of DESTRUCTION. I believe these four guys crazy Italian guys have come to stay, their sound is fresh as it can get, fast pace temp mayhem, sharp riffs great drum beats, you do not get bored listening to the whole album, I imagine how it would be to see them live, with all the moshpit and stage diving. I have always been a fan of Thrash Metal and I.C.S. fulfilled my admiration.

If I have to pick a favourite track that would have to be "War, Fire, Destruction", the last track from the album, what a way to close the set, I.C.S. is an awesome Thrash Metal Band with a humorous attitude and nonetheless with great skills, cannot wait to see them live.
