This album is classic thrash metal with no frills or ultra slick mastering. It's down and dirty and emanates a nostalgic aroma of the 80's style of destructive thrash, just like grandma used to make!

Once again, the metal mavens at Punishment 18 Records deliver us from boring, contrived metal. Enter Windsor, Ontario’s own thrash masters Arkayic Revolt and their full length debut record, Death’s River.
Now, anybody who’s ever read Gary Holt’s thrash metal cookbook, Force Of Fricasseed Rabbit, knows the recipe for a baddass metal album that feeds six to eight thousand ravenous thrashers: tight riffs, catchy chorus, gang vocals, ‘tude by the tons and awesome album art. Arkayic Revolt must of read that one cover to cover because they whipped up batches upon batches of all of that in Death’s River. This album is classic thrash metal with no frills or ultra slick mastering. It’s down and dirty and emanates a nostalgic aroma of the 80’s style of destructive thrash, just like grandma used to make!
Overall: Mid to photon phast thrash metal in the vein of Impact Is Imminent era Exodus and The Legacy era Testament, with a hardy glaze of Metallica‘s heyday. If you dig the more approachable size of old school thrash, then Death’s River is juuuuuust right for you!

Formed in early 2008, Arkayic Revolt was the offspring of a pre-existing metal band that had lost its way, and the surviving band members decided to create something new, heavier, faster and more ferocious than its predecessor. Arkayic Revolt conveys their brand of thrash metal to the masses, keeping it honest, real and breathing new life into an old genre.

Hailing from the stifling, industrial border city of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, the method to Arkayic Revolt’s sonic madness is a cess pool of various metal ingredients. They have learned their war craft from Bay Area forefathers such as Testament, Forbidden and Exodus, while perfecting it with skills from European thrashers such as Kreator, Destruction and Artillery. The primal aggression of their sound is laced with melodic elements, and also draws influence from more groove oriented bands like Pantera.

Having released their debut independent recording in early 2009, a seven track EP entitled “Undead Man Walking”; Arkayic Revolt has been praised in reviews from heavy metal press, and has received radio play from stations across the globe. Their “Undead Man Walking” EP has given them an ever growing worldwide fan base in the metal underground, and attracted the attention of Punishment 18 Records (Pitiful Reign, Ancient Dome, Methedras) who have signed the band to their label for the release of a full-length album entitled “Death’s River” in early 2010.
