Dawn of Ruin – Poço da Infâmia

Vinterd

 Dawn of Ruin’s latest album “Poço da Infâmia” is an album that I personally would not listen to on a regular basis, but it’s one of those albums that is fast, raw, and brutal to the core. This is a mixture of death, thrash, and black metal at some of its most hardcore and I’ve no doubt that those of you out there who are into this kind of hardcore metal will get infinite joy out of this badass piece of work because it comes with 4 normally recorded demo tracks and then another 4 tracks of live performance for … Continue reading Dawn of Ruin – Poço da Infâmia

Biotoxic Warfare – Lobotomized

Vinterd

 Yes, yes, yes. I really want to leave this review at that but that doesn’t leave a whole lot to the imagination now does it? Well I can tell you this for “Lobotomized” that comes out in January: it’s a damn good death/thrash metal album that is one of the best signs that 2015 is going to be a great year for metal. Biotoxic Warfare has taken influences from great bands like Slayer and Obituary and fused them together into an album that has such a violent and extreme energy to it that made me want to punch someone in … Continue reading Biotoxic Warfare – Lobotomized

Insaniter – Half Faces EP

Vinterd

 This new EP from Insaniter is thrash metal that is beyond acceptable. “Half Faces” brings electrifying guitars (as all thrash metal aims to do) that give this EP a very organic feel to it because of how fast they are while still being able to keep the rhythm and pace sounding amazing along with the vocals and drums that are just great. And I know what you’re thinking – well this just sounds like some ordinary thrash metal band, so why in the actual fuck would you want to hear it when you can just fire up some Metallica if … Continue reading Insaniter – Half Faces EP

Panikk – Unbearable Conditions

Vinterd

 It’s been a while since I’ve heard a real, true, and 100% organic sounding thrash metal album and I wouldn’t rather have it come in the form any other than in the form of a band’s debut fucking album because debuts (as I’m sure you know) always set the tone for future albums and this tone is really fucking awesome. “Unbearable Conditions” is a fast paced and raw thrash metal album that I really enjoyed since I’m big into the ol’ thrash and any band that can replicate that sound gets an automatic two thumbs up from me because yes! … Continue reading Panikk – Unbearable Conditions

Redacted- Alien Nation

Vinterd

 Now this is just a demo so don’t shit your pants after reading the album name and just go “Well fuck! Another previously respected band has turned to this bullshit topic!” because (1) there’s no such thing as a bullshit topic for metal, (2) if you think like that you’re fucking stupid, and (3) this is just a demo… Redacted may not continue making alien-themed music or maybe they will. Either way – get over it. Now, “Alien Nation” is actually pretty good compared to what demos I’ve heard before and from that first judgement of the album which is pretty basic … Continue reading Redacted- Alien Nation

Skull Koraptor – Dead Ahead

Vinterd

 There seems to be a rise in Greek bands deciding to make thrash metal, that or I’ve just been oblivious to the thrash metal scene in Greece like the black metal scene in India. And Skull Koraptor is one of those Greek thrashers that have recently caught my attention; not just because they emailed me but that’s besides the point. Skull Koraptor’s debut EP “Dead Ahead” is an impressive debut that clearly shows the band’s expertise in the thrash metal genre and what their future albums can be like whenever they come out. Each of the four songs from “Dead … Continue reading Skull Koraptor – Dead Ahead

Amken – Adrenaline Shot

Vinterd

 “Adrenaline Shot” is Amken’s debut EP as a thrash metal band from Greece that certainly looks a doozy just from looking at the cover art. This EP, as you may have already guessed, is an album that incorporates what I know some people to call “horror thrash” which is exactly what it sounds like: thrash metal with a horror theme to it. And while it’s not as fast as some other thrash metal bands I know, Amken still has that electric feel to them that all bands of the genre have and carry throughout the albums which gives each song … Continue reading Amken – Adrenaline Shot

Toxoid – Aurora Satanae

Vinterd

 Unbeknownst to me, India has a black metal scene that is on the rise. I was not told about this, and I’m beginning to wonder why, but that’s not the point today. The point is is that Toxoid is the latest black metal band to join the scene and while they may not be the absolute best in my opinion, they have the sound and brutality needed to climb the rankings pretty quick if given the chance. Toxoid has the harsh vocals that a lot of black metal and death metal bands and they’ve thrown them together into raspy and … Continue reading Toxoid – Aurora Satanae

Soulskinner – Crypts of Ancient Wisdom

Vinterd

 I’m going to give you an equation. Don’t worry if you’re bad at math and you don’t even have to think about answering it. Greek band + death/black/thrash metal + ancient theme = ??? Turns out that the answer to that equation is Soulskinner’s new album “Crypts of Ancient Wisdom” (told you you didn’t have to think about answering). And when I say this band did exceedingly well at molding death, black, and thrash metal together into one badass album I mean they did extremely well at it! This entire album front to back is absolutely hardcore and brutal with vocals so … Continue reading Soulskinner – Crypts of Ancient Wisdom

Halahkuh – Breaking the Shackles (single)

Vinterd

 Halahkuh’s latest song “Breaking the Shackles” is from their upcoming album to which I don’t know the name of. What, did you think it’s that easy? Well, it’s not. Sorry to burst your bubble. Anyway, this single really does an excellent job of throwing together death and thrash metal into one cohesive 5 minute and 36 second track that sounds like it’s meant to make your ears bleed (kidding). And I really like what one sentence reads on the Bandcamp page for this single. It reads, “this is a well-tempered Thrash/Death song laced with melodies while not eschewing the band’s … Continue reading Halahkuh – Breaking the Shackles (single)
