Irritation – Taste the Floor

Vinterd

 I thought that it was just thrash and speed metal but apparently hyper thrash is a thing. Who knew? Not me, but I’ll more than happily go with it because Irritation’s newest EP “Taste the Floor” is an example of hyper thrash that is a literal punch to the face as you may be able to tell from the cover art by the man who has suffered a severe impact to the face, but I digress. “Taste the Floor” has the real fast and raw pace to it from the vocals to the obviously fast guitars and drums for all … Continue reading Irritation – Taste the Floor

Formis – Mental Survival

Vinterd

 Sometimes unknown bands are sometimes the best at what they do. Formis definitely qualifies for that statement because their sophomore album “Mental Survival” is a very, very good album that will have listeners captivated by the commanding songs off of this album and wanting to press the replay button when it’s finally over. Each song off of this 27 minute album is a fast and brutal piece that’ll attract fans of this combo album like I said. My only lament is that it’s not on Spotify. I’d listen to it a lot if that were the case, but I digress. “Mental Survival” … Continue reading Formis – Mental Survival

 Belgian speed metallers Evil Invaders have created a racing album that front to back is catered for those who love them some fucking fast metal that’s aggressively badass. “Pulses of Pleasure” has a literal mind of its own where its aggressive feel and attitude matches that of even Exodus and has a sound that will attract fans of classic thrash with its old school texture to it.

Desecrator – Red Steel Nation (single)

Vinterd

 Hearkening back to the “glory days” of thrash metal, Desecrator’s brand new single “Red Steel Nation” really has brought back that mentality of giving the music power of its own that comes in plentiful heaps. The vocals for this song along go great with the guitars which were fast and will make any fan of this band love instantly the moment this start playing because “Red Steel Nation” is made for thrash metal fans and not just fans of Desecrator alone. Now I personally do not know if this single will be on a future album or is just a stand alone … Continue reading Desecrator – Red Steel Nation (single)

Conceived By Hate / Akheron – Coalition of Death

Vinterd

 Who figured that one album made me feel like I could run a marathon at light speed and punch people in the face while doing it? Well that is exactly what this combination of death thrashers Conceived By Hate and Akheron did for me in their upcoming split album “Coalition of Death”. Now you might be thinking “since you say both these bands are death and thrash metal then what’s the difference between the two?” Well, my young metal head, Conceived By Hate is more death metal oriented and Akheron is more on the thrash metal side. If you know … Continue reading Conceived By Hate / Akheron – Coalition of Death

Frosthelm – The Endless Winter

Vinterd

 Talk about an album that lives up to its badass cover! Frosthelm’s debut full-length album “The Endless Winter” is an absolutely flawless concoction of black metal and thrash metal into something that just blew me away 100% with its demonic fast pace, brutal sound, and just amazing musicianship throughout the entire album. Each and every track that really grinds away at your ears until the only thing left is a pulp that just wants more from the album. The vocals in “The Endless Winter” have that black metal sound to them with the raspy and harsh sound that never lets … Continue reading Frosthelm – The Endless Winter

Graveyard After Graveyard – Hellhound On My Tail

Vinterd

 Supergroups. First thing that comes to mind? Myself, I have two bands that pop up at once: Hellyeah and Killer Be Killed. Now those two I’m just using as examples to put images and expectations in your heads for what Graveyard After Graveyard are like. Well take all those images and expectations and throw them out the fucking window. Now picture this: a trio of people who want to revolutionize and change all the rules that black/thrash/death metal revivalists have been doing it, but making their music intense from second one and making it live, breathe, and surge with power. I … Continue reading Graveyard After Graveyard – Hellhound On My Tail

Comaniac – Return to the Wasteland

Vinterd

 Thrash metal. That sums up what Comaniac’s debut album “Return to the Wasteland” is because that’s simply what it is. This Swiss-born thrash metal has that traditional fast paced everything that is signature to true thrash metal everywhere, but Comaniac has given a little bit of . . . aggression (I think that’d be the correct word) that I will admit has been done infinite times before now. However, for whatever reason Comaniac has managed to bring a fresh feel to it that, I’ve no idea why, felt like I haven’t heard done properly in a very long time. It … Continue reading Comaniac – Return to the Wasteland

War On All Fronts – Let’s Start a War… Vol. 1

Vinterd

 Technically, War On All Fronts isn’t a record label. It’s a fanzine that has just very recently started putting out releases and this fantastic compilation is one of them. “Let’s Start a War… Vol. 1” is an extremely solid compilation of fast paced metal that ranges across the genres of black, thrash, death, and speed metal in its finest moments from the underground metal scene. All of these bands and their songs bring a ferocity to their respective genres and infuse them with lightning speed and each song compliments the previous one and the following song so the flow between … Continue reading War On All Fronts – Let’s Start a War… Vol. 1

Tóxica – Egoísmo Autodestructivo

Vinterd

 Argentinian thrash metal.   I’m just gonna let that sit up there by itself because it’s an odd statement all on its own. Tóxica has brought forth an EP that is electrifying to the touch and brings energy and adrenaline to whoever listens to it. Now I will say that I’ve no idea in the world what was being said for the entire album, it doesn’t matter because this EP was fantastic simply because of the pure thrash metal that is being played. This is an intense EP that I really enjoyed because I like to think that I listen … Continue reading Tóxica – Egoísmo Autodestructivo
