Barbarian – Viperface (Regressive to the Core but Not a Bore Thrash Metal)

Barbarian – Viperface (Regressive to the Core but Not a Bore Thrash Metal)

  I like the way these guys play, on two counts. One, the literally playing of the music, and two, the playing with the audience. Not so easy a task when you be playing that retro type of thrash, which can sink into its own past too often and lose the listener in bygone eras, […]

Mental Devastation – The Delusional Mystery of the Self Part I (What Thrash is Supposed to Sound Like)

Mental Devastation – The Delusional Mystery of the Self Part I (What Thrash is Supposed to Sound Like)

  Phew, now this title is sure a fooking mouthful. Maybe that’s why it took me so long to finish this review, I was still reading it lol. Actually, I waited because to be honest most of the December promo pool was absolute garbage. This one came in rather early so I sat on it, […]

Skeleton – S/T (Dark Basement Thrash)

Skeleton – S/T (Dark Basement Thrash)

  This kind of thrash conjures my favorite vision. Imagine a basement in a lower-middle income, at best, town somewhere in a broken down, former industrial center of the US, probably Ohio (actually Texas here, technically). Imagine in that shit hole a local quickie gas station is the only “entertainment” and in that doldrums is […]

Raider – Guardian of Fire (Forged in a Meek Spark Thrash)

  I like sword guy. I thought sword guy would bring me some thrash fire. But he brings more of a spark that could, some day, ignite into bigger flames of thrash. That requires hands willing to work for it, however, and the work needs to be personal. It is necessary to grind the thrash […]

Warsenal – Feast Your Eyes (Glass in Eyes Thrash Metal)

  Lol holy shit if Velio Josto‘s sick cover doesn’t say “yes you will like this,” then you deserve some glass to the eyes, and ears because you don’t deserve to listen either. I saw some complaints or something about the art but I won’t even bother trashing that drivel. Warsenal are a fifth-edition textbook […]

Motive – Fight the World (Cyberbullied Thrash)

  I’m actually wondering why I’m reviewing this, because it’s not going to be good. First reason I can muster, that art by Diego Garza (Diablo Macabre) is thick. Second reason, actually, no, we’ll stop there. I have no other reasons I’m afraid. I’ve gone on the anti-retro thrash tirade a few times, or just […]

Roadkiller – S/T (One-Guitar Biker Punk)

Roadkiller – S/T (One-Guitar Biker Punk)

  I was immediately drawn to the cover of this EP, because, um, look now, skeleton thing and it’s riding a motorcycle whilst wielding a chain. And it’s riding over skeletons. I mean basically it’s some Ghost Rider shit without breaking copyright law, but this album most certainly breaks the law(s) in another way. Thought […]

Kobold – Death Parade (When Will Vintage Thrash Die? Parade)

Kobold – Death Parade (When Will Vintage Thrash Die? Parade)

  Welcome Serbia’s Kobold and their Death Parade, 15 tracks of ass-blistering, face-melting, dick-scalding, heart-burning, finger-gnashing, teeth-crushing, curb-stomped, methhead speed metal. The things I like about Kolbold’s take on the old is that it doesn’t stray from the path of what has come before.  The cover by Željko Manojlović is very 80’s with those Big Brother, […]

Maligner – Attraction to Annihilation (Everything Should Be Burned)

  Lol this is such a goddamn fitting album to review today, it really is. If you’re not aware, this site is so apolitical you’ll swear off any potential party affiliation or political worldview immediately. Keep that crap out of here, unless it’s to start flame wars in the comments so the site gets more hits. […]

Beastiality – Worshippers of Unearthly Perversions (Let’s See This Get Promoted)

My promotion for this album is probably going to get shot down immediately because of the band’s name, but that’s the reality of the underground. Filthy names, little exposure because of filthy names. Who would want to name their band after sex acts with animals anyway even if the spelling is slightly changed? It still […]
