If Cardinal Sin and Eucharist would have gang raped In Flames back in the day, then the bastard child spawned from that perverted union would be Majesties. This group from Minneapolis, Minnesota, is one of the better imitators of the Gothenburg sound that I have heard in a long time and they would have easily flourished in that scene.

This is some tasty thrash metal that would have fit into the late 80s scene nicely with the exception that these guys are from India and I wasn't aware of any bands from that part of the world back then.

So, this is a quirky yet cool thrash metal album, it comes a little off of the rails at times but overall is interesting and entertaining. Metal-Archives states that they're still active so hopefully something new will be coming in the future. They have had no recent activity that I have seen on the Web.

OSDM worship from Merano, Italy, a bit too much on the melodic side but with just enough HM2 fuzz to make it believable.
