Aloop review

Ferocious metal from Denmark that kinda reminds me of Anders Lundemark’s (remember
him from the Konkhra days kiddies?) Daemon. Aloop play a style thats highly reminiscent
of Slayer in their old days combined with the likes of todays Mercenary (who are good
drinking buddies from what I can gather) so you can imagine what they sound like - although
their name leaves a lot to be questioned (like, what does it mean?!). The fotos and lyrics are
predictably macabre but of course the 5 band members then let themselves down by all
thanking their moms and dads and familys ha ha. C’mon guys, it doesn’t work like that.....
you don’t play this kinda stuff and then go home to your loving wife and cuddle the baby....
no no no....you play and then you go to Vestbrogade, score some drugs, go to a strip bar
where you get yourself a nice hooker, and spend the evening watching animal sex porn etc....

ALOOP
”Global Crisis”
(Edgerunner)

One of the all time greatest thrash metal bands is a Danish one. With albums like “Fear Of Tomorrow”, “Terror Squad” and “By Inheritance” Artillery has marked their spot in the Hall of Great Thrash Metal. Aloop is as a thrash band as far away from Artillery as oranges are to apples but they still have that Danishness to them that make for a quality product. Aloop sound like a combination of Fear Factory crossed with The Haunted with a good dose good old 80s thrash thrown in. To some that might sound like Slipknot. All I know is that this one surprised me more than I thought it would. Maybe this is the beginning of a new Danish thrash metal wave?
