Full Length Review: Thin Ice "A Matter of Time" (Farewell Records) by Devin J. Meaney

Band: Thin Ice
Location: Schweinfurt
Country: Germany
Genre: Hardcore
Full length: A Matter of Time
Format: Digital
Label: Farewell Records
Release date: May 3, 2024
While on my hardcore kick I found “A Matter of Time” by Thin Ice! This seems quite a bit more “serious” than the last demo I reviewed, and although initially I didn’t have the desire to listen to a full-length after finding this my lust for music changed!
The guitar is your standard hardcore riffs with a thrashy edge. Vocally this is in your face, with a shade of gang vocals thrown into the mix. The percussion is tight and the production is professional. The tone of the music does change throughout, giving a bit of diversity with the overall sound.
This album features 12 tracks in just under 30 minutes, and the band hails from Germany. I’m not super wordy right now—so I will just say that this is an excellent album and well worth a few listens and maybe even a physical purchase!
Note: After writing the review I felt like mentioning that the lead guitar work is stellar and I am even getting mild touches of a “Southern” twang! -Devin J. Meaney
