WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT LAZARUS A.D.

Lazarus AD's The Onslaught represents a glimpse of a different future, a much nicer one for thrashers....it's one of the best thrash albums this side of Y2K. Buy it.
              Metal-Archives Reviews 

I can say if you like the classic thrash era there is something here for everyone. I grew up listening to bands like Slayer, Kreator, Exodus and Testament...Lazarus A.D. continues what those bands started.

ABOUT THE ALBUM
One listen to Lazarus A.D. and you might think the new Anthrax album sounds fresh and new!  Oh, wait - it's LAZARUS A.D.!!!!  The Onslaught is an up-to-date, state of the art, ripping thrash album, with all the best bits of Slayer, Exodus, Testament and Anthrax. Mainly fast and mid tempo, crunching songs - relentlessly thrashing the listener in only pleasurable ways! Vocalist Jeff Paulick sound very similar to Rob Dukes of the mighty Exodus, and drummer Ryan Shutler (R.I.P. 2015) is one of the greatest of all-time. Don't take our word for it - LISTEN FOR YOURSELF! The drum patterns are intertwined with the guitar work in order to create tension and a sense of musical progression, using prominently the double bass and ride cymbal. It's nothing short of magical. The first two tracks on the album get things rolling to perfection. "Last Breath" kicks off with a blistering intensity and then morphs into a Metallica-like chug-chugging of guitars. The vocals don't even kick in until a minute and a half in, and they don't need to because the riffing does all the work. "Thou Shalt Not Fear" just screams Testament (the album was remixed by James Murphy of Testament!) and that's all that needs to be said. The remainder of the album continues to be powerfully aggressive with plenty of solos throughout. The pace of every song is intense; there's no time to stop to rest the ears. The 2023 first-time-on-vinyl release has been expertly mastered for vinyl (color) by Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound, comes with a 12x12 full color insert, and is limited to just 300 copies word-wide. And, that's not all!  We promise, Lazarus A.D. - The Onslaught WILL makes you wanna circle pit 'til dawn!!!!
