Poland! It's a very metal country. Typically, it's known for its blasty, stomach-churning death metal, but today, we're taking a look at a thrash band. Enter (the) Dragon. They dabbled in technically proficient death/thrash. I'm using past tense because they also dabbled in industrial rock. Scream of Death was their third album and it's what I'm currently jamming. I can also vouch for 1989's Horde of Gog (great title). The later stuff...it's anyone's best guess. Seemingly, a lot of the bands that I discover on Metal Archives are currently active, this one being no exception. My penchant for Dragon (and it's a small penchant, as I just unearthed them) stems from the fact that I prefer thrash from the late 80's and early 90's. Let's face it; if you were still playing full-tilt thrash in the 90's, you were dead serious.
Comparisons? I'm hearing the dry tonality of Coroner and maybe the faster bits of Rust-era Megadeth. Early Dragon is a solid listen. No word on if they actually wrote songs about dragons. I haven't gotten that far yet.
