London based Thrashers KREMATED present to us their new album "Three Minute Warning". Those guys were already in my sights, as their previous album "Total Warfare", while not stellar, was quite enjoyable as far as thrash goes. Good thing for everyone involved, KREMATED have really progressed from last time, and "Three Minute Warning" is proof of that.

Straying away from your average Bay Αrea-whorship lust, KREMATED walk a fine line between Trash and Hardcore, with a lot of healthy Punk doses to spice things up, making it even more interesting. Truth be told, its hard to pin label to it, and to be honest, I really like that.

Right from the start they set the tone with the crushing riff of "Wake the Fuck Up", but you're in for a treat. "Into Battle" picks up your pieces and scatters 'em to the walls, with the rest of the album following. A furious Thrash-meets-Hardcore-winks at-Punk fusion with anthemic choruses, punky gang vocals, well placed solos, crushing riffs, tons of energy, and to top it all, tight playing. Running at barely under 41 minutes, "Three Minute Warning" really keeps you at it with no holds barred. I'm really impressed how KREMATED try to be different and succeed at that.

If you enjoy aggressive metal (or punk whatsoever) of the late 80s - early 90s you'd better buy this album and enjoy it as I did. Just play it loud, otherwise you're missing half the fun!
