Flames is undoubtedly the most legendary group to has ever come out of Hellas and the first that played thrash metal. Given the almost non-existent metal scene in Greece twenty two years ago, the limited funds and the difficulties a Greek metal fan was encountering we should be speaking about a miracle. The music is old-school thrash metal with dirty sound and fast guitars, closer to the American mid eighties thrash metal scene, although the sound does not resemble the sound of any of the groups of that era. The guitars are fast with a very distinguishable distortion and it takes you back to the eighties. It is the exact sound that you'd expect from a thrash/speed metal group of twenty something years ago (given also the recording equipment of that decade). The sound is true, pure thrash/speed metal, dirty and trampy that the group plays with soul and guts. All the band members have great musical skills and know how to write music. Not very complex, just great riffs, fast and simple with fast and melodic solos. Simply put, a must have for fans of dirty old school thrash metal in the vein of Sadus, Sarcofago and Sodom!
