Razor – Cycle Of Contempt (Relapse Records)

It has been 25 years since Razor’s last full length, ‘Decibels’, and the thrash fraternity have been hungerly awaiting another sacrifice from the Canadian speed royalty every day since. Well wait no longer, ‘Cycle Of Contempt’ is upon us, so… Continue Reading →

Midnight – Let There Be Witchery (Metal Blade)

Midnight is the dark offspring of one man – Athenar from Cleveland Ohio.  Over the last 19 years he has been combining speed metal, D-Beat and Black Metal into a hellish hybrid that has kept many a metal head and punk happy. Let There Be Witchery… Continue Reading →

Bewitcher – Under the Witching Cross (Shadow Kingdom)

Bewitcher are a really cool band, their demo tapes dragged me into their filthy dirty speedier metal quite some time ago, this is their second full length having previously worked their socks off in the underground scene on the back… Continue Reading →

Entrench – Through the Walls of Flesh (I Hate)

Swedish raw thrashers Entrench come back after three years away with this tasty little thrasher. If you are a fan of the faster (Razor) and rawer (early Slayer, Kreator and Sodom) side of the sub-genre then you will embrace this… Continue Reading →

Epi-Demic – Malformed Conscience (Horror Pain Gore Death Productions)

This Canadian act has had a couple of releases out previously as my first dabble with their music was via the split they did with Solanum in 2015. Following on from that is this sophomore which is an explosion of… Continue Reading →

Principality Of Hell – Sulfur & Bane (Osmose Productions)

Just over two years ago I reviewed this band’s debut for Ave Noctum and was positive about its style that reverted back to a raw unfettered approach even if the songs themselves weren’t that unique overall. The band is composed… Continue Reading →

Baphomet’s Blood – In Satan We Trust (Iron Bonehead)

I love the Iron Bonehead roster much like Hells Headbangers as well, their roster of bands are some of the most vicious and vile on the planet, plus when you order from them they are efficient and understand the importance… Continue Reading →

Evil Invaders – Pulses of Pleasure (Napalm)

With a name which pays homage to Canadian Thrashers Razor (The title of their 1985 thrash masterpiece album), it doesn’t take much to guess what these Belgian guys play for a living. Full of energy and classic 80’s attitude, Evil… Continue Reading →

Guerra Total – El Armageddon Continua (I Hate)

Now I have probably been snoozing, but a black metal tinged thrash band on I Hate struck me as a little unusual, Columbian or otherwise. Still, here we are. Guerra Total are, in the nicest possible way, a primitive thrash… Continue Reading →

Intöxicated – Rock ‘n Roll Hellpatröl (Hells Headbangers)

Germany’s Intöxicated (the umlaut making all the difference) are all about the leather, sluts, speed metal, intoxication, wanking and generally turning everything to 11. Who can argue with such a huge array of popular interests? This is the band’s debut… Continue Reading →

Fastkill – Bestial Thrashing Bulldozer (Pulverised)

“Oh goody,” I thought, “I do love a bit of girly goth metal….” Nah, just kidding. Yep Fastkill are so thrash they probably eat thrashed ‘n’ shredded wheat for breakfast. They are also Japanese and this is their sixth release… Continue Reading →
