"Black Metal band from Thessaloniki, Greece. 100% D.I.Y. and anti-NSBM, featuring members of some local hardcore/crust bands (DySpnea and Go Filth Go)."
It's no surprise that out from the ashes of ex-hardcore and crust band brings forth a RABM anti-NSBM crust influenced black metal band. Do I smell Darkthrone praise anyone? Unlike most RABM bands, Black Trinity play a more rawer and punker form of black metal whereas Cascadian bands play with more of an atmospheric touch. This 6 track EP is a big step up from their previous release, which was a shitty demo from 2005 that was just pure regurgitated shit. This EP ACTUALLY has some structure to it with some kick ass thrashy riffs and some energetic punk parts. Another thing incorporate is the use of the hi-hats. Holy fuck. It's as if I'm sitting at a train crossing an all I'm hearing it DING DING DING DING DING DING DING. Not that that's a bad thing anyways. Who doesn't love a little bit of hi-hat abuse with their tremelo picking? Greek black metal isn't something that is always looked at as being supreme but I think Black Trinity sure outdoes shitty bands like Liturgy and Krallice.
There's actually a fair bit of decent black metal from Greece. If you're at all interested, some of the more well known stuff includes:

Varathron - His Majesty at the Swamp
Rotting Christ - Thy Mighty Contract
