CoC : Malintent - Part 1 : Review

Malintent - _Part 1_
by: Adrian Bromley (3 out of 5)

Straight outta the Megadeth school of metal music, with a twist of Overkill thrash metal tendencies mixed in (singer Jamie Vandelly is a ringer for Overkill frontman 'Blitz at times), Virginia's Malintent get things going strong from the opening number "Slayground". Good production and really slick musicianship is abundant here as the band rips through a rather impressive array of material. Strong guitar playing shines from this release as Malintent weave their music into a frenzied assault that'll have you singing the choruses by the third or fourth track. If you're missing what Megadeth should have continued doing after _Rust In Peace_, then this just may be your choice. Strong release.
