BUGEN HAGEN is the name of a new Thrash Metal combo from Germany and offers us its second indie release, the mini CD “Expulsion”. The material of the band is not really bad, but nothing sticks. Not that the guys thrashed ahead like maniacs, no, they have enough variety to offer, but the songs don’t really get to you, meaning: They don’t grab for your balls!

You can listen to the songs without any problems, but just as easily they are forgotten again. To get a good deal you’ll have quite some work before you, guys!!! (Online February 29, 2004)
