Angelus Apatrida – Hidden Evolution (Century Media)

To say that this album pulls no punches is a bit like saying `shooting yourself in the head isn’t very good for you’. To the uninitiated, this is the fourth raging opus from Spain’s very own thrash metal fanatics, Angelus… Continue Reading →

Kreator, Arch Enemy, Shining + Marty Friedman – London Forum 18/12/14

It was a dark and funnily enough, not too cold night for autumn, so I’m certain people in the queue around the corner, with the rather strange police presence, weren’t hypothermic by the time they got to enter the venue… Continue Reading →

Trident – Jezebel (Elitbolaget)

Having formed in 2005, Trident decided to pack it in in 2010. After a 5 year hiatus they have returned with a 3-track EP. The Finnish quartet from Porvoo has made ‘Jezebel’ a thematic EP in which a time is… Continue Reading →

Interview – Dust Bolt

Back in May when the review list went out, my eyes were drawn to a band called Dust Bolt. I didn’t know much about them, but when their name was followed by the words “German” and “Thrash”, I knew I… Continue Reading →

Axegressor – Last (Listenable)

Hailing from Finland and playing a brand of thrash metal which offers no compromises, Axegressor unleash their third full length album entitled “Last” which is a 36-minute slice of intense thrash. With a sound reminiscent of the Teutonic four (Kreator,… Continue Reading →

Legion Of The Damned – Ravenous Plague (Napalm)

Before becoming Legion Of The Damned this act operated under the name of Occult, releasing five albums between 1994 and 2003. While their brand of thrashy/death/black metal was energetic enough it failed to elevate the band beyond their underground status…. Continue Reading →

Mushroom Cloud, a trio hailing from Aarhus, Denmark, comprises of founding members Dmitriy Mukhamedov on guitars and Simon Kristensen on the drums with vocalist Morten Thoft Langerhuus joining the band a year into their existence. Style-wise they are a thrashy… Continue Reading →

Demonical – Darkness Unbound (Cyclone Empire)

Sometimes the passage of time seems to pass extremely quickly. I mean, it seems like only yesterday that Swedish crew Centinex were consistently delivering excellent Swedish death metal, and I lamented their loss just as much as the next slave… Continue Reading →

Pentagram Chile – The Malefice (Cyclone Empire)

For a band that has been around for nearly three decades they sure have taken a long time to get their true full length debut despite more than a handful of demos and what not. My first experience with the… Continue Reading →

Mortal Form – The Reckoning (My Kingdom)

Every time I’ve heard current bands in the Thrash/Death Metal category it’s always Kreator/Slayer/Morbid Angel/Death (delete as appropriate) by numbers. Like there were only a limited number of Thrash bands towards the extreme side of the genre and it’s best… Continue Reading →

Blood Tsunami – For Faen! (Indie)

Before they released their debut, Blood Tsunami were an interesting prospect for me, as I was always a big fan of Bard ‘Faust’ Eithun’s previous projects (Emperor of course, but I was also fairly impressed by his take on punkish… Continue Reading →

Deathstorm – As Death Awakes (IHate)

Out of the ashes of Damage rose Deathstorm, an Austrian trio that give more than a passing nod to the 80’s German thrash legends they worship. Be assured that if you still enjoy ‘Endless Pain’ you should grab this album…. Continue Reading →
