Sentinel Beast was another of the 80s US thrash/speed bands to feature a female vocalist who kicked some ass. Debbie Gunn had a harsh voice well suited for the genre, it had a similar edge to it as Nichole Lee from Znowhite or Dawn Crosby from Detente/Fear of God. "Depths of Death" is the Californian outfit's only album, and at its heart it is a superb, simple, burning style of thrash and speed with a grinding edge to the guitars. In places it reminds a lot of Slayer's early material like Show No Mercy or Haunting the Chapel EP, except the guitar solos are a little more classically influenced and the band wasn't quite as deep into the early Satanic imagery. This one of the most overlooked albums ever and one of the greatest examples of underground thrash metal for U.S.A. Needless to say that it's recommended to any thrasher out there. This band is all power, really. It's the classic example of when technique, passion and intensity collide.
