Album Review: Valient Thorr - Stranger
It’s time to grow your hair and don your denim cut-offs, as North Carolina’s thrash monsters Valient Thorr are back. Album number four, 'Stranger', is quite a beast and though it starts with almost hardcore intentions, it is one hundred percent thrash in origin. 'Strangers' is a fresh take on a nostalgic sound; you can firmly believe you are skating pools in the eighties without feeling contradicted by The fact that you are listening an iPod.‘Gillionaire’ is the perfect start to the album, it’s riff heavy bounce, inducing a session of head-banging almost immediately. Whilst it would hardly be surprising if Valient Himself was singing of demons and dragon slaying, such are the metal aspects of 'Stranger'; it is refreshing that Valient Thorr’s lyrical battles are with real and legitimate targets. Take lead single, ‘Double-Crossed’; an explosive attack at deceitful banks and shoddy money men or the aforementioned ‘Gillionaire’ is an anthem of disgust at consumer- driven society and general greed. Both are themes that are of the time and easily relateable.
