SAREPTA: S.U.N.K CD Groove/Thrash Metal (Sepultura, Soulfly, Machine Head)

This group comes from Germany (Bavaria). The band started in 1992 & after one demo in 93 & they released a debut miniCD called 'Mind Wipe' in 1994. After a change in line -up, the band worked a lot for the new miniCD 'Sunk'; They've already played with bands like Waltari, Laberinto, Testimony, Despair, Krabathor, to name a few. 'Sunk' is a miniCD composed of 5 tracks. Immediately, one notices the power and the precision of Sarepta. The production of this album is really impressive! The style of the group is rather power thrash. Sarepta evolves therefore in the current vein of this music. Rhythmic guitars sound like as loud as Hell! The guitars sound crushes you ears. Parts of guitars mix with the perfection primary brutality and technical subtlety. The drummer is excellent and inventive ('Shake the dice up'). Moreoever, the sound of his snare drums is excellent, very dry and powerful. The voice oscillates between that one of Sepultura (or ratherSoulfly now) and Machine Head !

=================================================
Here is what the band thinks about its work:
"with S.U.N.K. we tried not to build a song out of a row of umpteen different riffs but to compose a song as a whole and keep it simple, if the song requires that"
"our major influence comes from the Bay Area Thrash bands of the 80s. But also Punk and other music styles play an important role in composing songs".
"I definitely think it’s just modern Thrash with a Hardcore backbone".
