Oh yeah, dirty, pungent deathly thrash and thrashing death metal done the old school way, reminiscent of that period in the '80s when the lines were first beginning to blur; yes sir, that's what "Taste the Sin through the Fire" is about. Californians UNHOLY LUST get it right and don't give a good goddamn about originality; only that the approach taken is done well and with as much blood, fire, and probably goats as possible.

Consistent throughout and inclusive of an "Intro" that actually sets the stage very well and an "Interlude" that can be taken or left, "Taste the Sin though the Fire" cooks its victims in a stew made of POSSESSED and pre-"Reign in Blood"SLAYER and flavors the meat with various early "black metal" pioneers. Once could call it old school death metal or dirty thrash and be right in both cases. The thrash is of the wicked, breakneck variety anchored in traditional song structures with memorable refrains, especially on cuts like "Warriors of Death", "Torso", and "Body Count", and standouts "Satan's Church" with those charred riffs and SLAYER-esque feel and "Stench of Decay" for its putridly memorable chorus. The guys came up with some good riffs on this one, the leads are pointed and rough edged, and the vocals of guitarist Alvaro Sancen are gruff and intelligible, not unlike HOD's Beer Reebs.

As for the death… Well, it's all death when it comes right down to it, wouldn't you say? Ask Sergeant Barnes, Tom Berenger's hard-ass character in "Platoon". "What ya'll know about death? I shit on all of you". Now you see it for what it is. Let's all revel in it.
