ONE FILL WONDER

As I ended the last post with Per it's only fair that I pay tribute to him with this one. I'll admit there's been a bit too much of the Haunted family tree throughout these first few posts but shut up.

Few would argue that The Haunted Made Me Do It isn't one of the most important thrash records of the past ten years however I had to go with a cut from One Kill Wonder. This is because it manages to sum up so much of what they're great at while continually maintaining the bands ability to be catchy and frenetic at the same time. Well that and the fact that I think it rules. You can almost imagine Mr. Jensen telling the other guys that they have to include mid-tempo sections so he can simply catch his breath.

Highlights - lots and lots but the one that gets me everytime is the fill that starts at :27 and finishes at :31 with a snare roll to kick/crash punches timed with the riff. This moment is repeated throughout so listen for it.

Everlasting
