Rising fury bestows those who claim that real metal is lost in the past, well beware for it's flourishing alive and taking no prisoners. Letting the musical onslaught dominant is none other than SUPPRESSIVE FIRE with their second full length release Nature Of War, an album that offers energetic velocity that is guaranteed to satisfy all. Eight songs blasting out late eighties darkened thrash music but with a modern twist with additives of black death metal this record is one that is a must have for any metal heads collection. Songs in their entirety are well versed and written for the tunes are ear pleasing and have a certain something that is catchy as in "Violent Enlightenment". From beginning this song starts with forceful guitar works, speed drums to vocals that are in the style of old black metal but are easily understood which is a huge added bonus for this band.

SUPPRESSIVE FIRE expresses a straight front musical approach to their songwriting which is great considering most bands out there want complexity which seems to be the ideal but not with these gents. Given the not so lengthy songs that have strong guitar playing that blend well with the bass which is highlighted and not drowned out. Song "Dreaded Bastards" shows how this band takes something not so complex but uses their creativity to generate some early SLAYER (Hell Awaits-85) inspired soloing but making it their own along with fierce drumming attacks. Intensified material that pushes the boundaries of the past into the modern day SUPPRESSIVE FIRE ignites something that will linger on capturing those whom once head banged endlessly.

Two songs that get the blood rushing with excitement are "Nature of War" and "Nuclear Dismemberment" which tear up the listening stage blasting their way into the cranium enticing every living cell to sing Nature Of War's album. Few things that one might notice are slight influences that can be heard are KREATOR (Coma Of Souls-90), EXODUS (Fabulous Disaster-89) on some slight bass tones and a touch of SODOM (Agent Orange-89) on vocals and drums. Overall SUPPRESSIVE FIRE does it ten times over with their entire compositions to the recorded production which have some major power when the decibel is turned up way loud. Granted if you have some powerful speakers mind you. If mosh pit tunes are what inspire you to get up in the morning then grab a cup of SUPPRESSIVE FIRE's latest will make your day!
