The Scandinavian metal scene has been a big one in recent years, with recent giants such as Arch Enemy, Children of Bodom, and The Haunted emerging. Also, new thrash bands have been popping up all over the world. Bonded by Blood, Evile, Gama Bomb, and Havok are considered, to me at least, to be the new big 4. But however, a new Norwegian band named Tantara may change that.
The band was started as a talent show project in September of '09, and after getting a full line-up, Tantara released the "Human Mutation" EP in 2010. The song "Human Mutation" had a killer riff like nothing i had heard before a the time. In July 2011, they went to the studio to begin recording their first studio release. So, on March 23rd, 2012 they released Based on Evil, which i do not currently own, but will review it when i get it.
Their style reminds me of an early Slayer or Metallica. But if anyone is a fan of the thrash band Heathen, you will love these guys! There is a huge resemblance there. They are gathering more and more followers, so check them out!
