Denmark has always been a reliable source of first-class thrash metal and the band called The Kandidate wants to compete and prove this statement more than ever with their debut Until We Are Outnumbered. Screamer Jacob Bredahl (ex HateSphere) and crew show the metal community just how it is done. The album brings a thrash metal heaven with death metal influences bringing the genre a new kind of dimension and with high-velocity riffs and grooves, furious leads, and rock-hard drumming and merciless vocals this is going to give a lot of head bangers some serious neck pains.

This may be there debut album, but this one is so loud and ferocious that it will leave a mark with its ideal balance between classic roots and new ideas and the simplicity of the individual ideas that raise the whole when brought together.

89/100
