Hey man! Do you prefer female singer? So you should listen to it, ha ha ha!! Yes, the singer of this JURASSIC JADE is ...a woman! They play melodious AOR? Or commercial shit? Damn no!! See also the cover, so you will imagine they seem to be a Death or Black Metal outfit. Melodious but eerie tasted introduction has started... and then crunchy driving guitar attack slashes your face, and heavy pounding rhythms thrash you again and again, woohh!! I felt their hook-laden riffs are like early PESTILENCE. Fucking great riffs!!!! You will think so!! The sound is likened early few albums era of SLAYER and is entirely excellent Thrash Metal!! Besides you also think the singer is a good performer. Hizumi's vocal performances express dark, chaotic and insane emotions. Probably you cannot understand Japanese word but lyrics by herself make me feel like chill run up my spine... Sure, we know some of female Thrash singer, like Dawn Crosby (R. I. P.) of DETENT, Debbie Gunn of SENTINEL BEAST and of course Sabina Classen of Teutonic HOLY MOSES, but Hizumi has an individuality and her own vocal style differed from them all. They should deserve to be respected more from all real Thrash Metal Maniaxe, because they are the real thing!! It is just a notice. The band is still active NOT DEAD!!
