Legacy Of Payne is a thrash metal band from Portugal, active in the local Ribatejo scene
and steadily building their name through raw aggression and classic genre
values. The band work within old school thrash metal traditions, focusing on
speed, sharp riffing and a heavy rhythmic drive. “Spawn Of Creation” is their
second full length and arrives through Maledict
Records.
“Spawn Of Creation”
shows a band that clearly understands thrash metal at its core. The album
focuses on fast riff patterns, steady tempo shifts and a strong guitar presence
that has most of the material. Melody appears often, not in a flashy way, but
through well shaped leads and harmonized sections that give the songs
character. The production is rough but readable, with guitars sitting upfront
and giving the album its main driving force.
Musically, the album
is the strongest part of the release. The riffs are well written, aggressive
without being chaotic, and there is a solid balance between speed driven parts
and heavier mid paced moments. Drums stay active and supportive, keeping the momentum
stable, while the bass does its job without stepping forward too much. The
songwriting stays focused and avoids unnecessary detours, sticking to clear
Thrash Metal structures.
Overall, “Spawn Of
Creation” is a solid thrash metal release with clear strengths in its music and
energy. Fans of Kreator, Testament, Dark Angel,
Onslaught and Overkill
will recognize familiar traits and honest genre dedication. The album
delivers good material, held back mainly by vocal limitations, resulting in a
release that sits comfortably above average without pushing further.
Score: 6.5
