The Kindred

Pariah’s cult debut re-issued! “The Kindred” brings you pure old school Thrash Metal fury! Satan changed their name to Pariah in 1988-1989.Satan’s evolution for the time being came to an end here with this band, Pariah, in 1988. What Satan were going for with “Suspended Sentence”, could definitely be seen as ahint to the direction they would take as Pariah.The main lineup here is entirely the same from Satan and Blind Fury (vocalists aside). Simply put, one could easily say they took “Suspended Sentence”’s interesting idea of “NWOBHM meets Thrash Metal” and basically focused on being even more aggressive this time.For the most part with “The Kindred” their guitar work is pretty thrashy and extremely melodic. Then out of nowhere those classic NWOBHM solo’s, dual harmonies, and majestic melodies come into play all over the place and they manage to make it work incredibly well in between the thrashy antics.Everything here is pretty damn heavy.While Tippins and Ramsey are really out there in a realm of their own, there’s great performances again by Graeme English on bass and Sean Taylor on drums.Overall you’vegot a whole package of virtuous musicians here that really mastered the beauty of balance.All in all “The Kindred” goes all the way with every track being fast and aggressive.• Satan changed their name to Pariah in 1988-1989• The bandmembers of Pariah also released music with Skyclad, Tanith, Blizkrieg, Raven a.o.• Produced by Roy M.
