Yeah, they kick ass!<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I love finding bands like Sweden’s own <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/lowestcreature" target="_blank">LOWEST CREATURE</a></b> - chugging thrash with a nice crossover bent.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Admittedly, I’ve only heard the one available song <i>“Certain Pain”</i>, but if the rest of the band’s debut demo is as strong as this track, those tunes will earn a nice spot in my regular music listening rotation.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
As for the lone track, it rides on the strength of a stomping mid-paced riff that would bust the rust off any deadened mosh pit. The vocals are wrought with punk angst, driving alongside the head slamming rhythm. It’s in your face and it kicks ass!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Check out <i>Certain Pain</i> below (which is also available as a FREE download), and hit up Lowest Creature <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lowestcreature" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7K-QTiXHMy-qpPicG91tBJQKr_Pz0M4uncZH9ZSJMR9idU77hctxBeu-RXtTb5qtlwwJODBbsqykjlci0QaMvg4qHbBxy-ebq8EIMe48Nv1AY6WeZRDkYRhg4YXel-ej0kGt4G0jS3Zg/s1600/tacit_fury_pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7K-QTiXHMy-qpPicG91tBJQKr_Pz0M4uncZH9ZSJMR9idU77hctxBeu-RXtTb5qtlwwJODBbsqykjlci0QaMvg4qHbBxy-ebq8EIMe48Nv1AY6WeZRDkYRhg4YXel-ej0kGt4G0jS3Zg/s1600/tacit_fury_pic.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I was going to add a small Facebook post about Russia’s death metal machine <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/tacitfury" target="_blank">TACIT FURY</a></b>, but as I jammed out to their recent album <i>“A Social Berserker”</i>, I came to the conclusion that a couple meager sentences wouldn’t do these guys justice.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
So once again I’ve dusted off the Blog to make some verbal noise for a band that needs to be heard past the limitations of a ‘non-boosted’ Facebook post.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
First and foremost, Tacit Fury knows dynamics, and the three-piece will work the riffs and drums together for maximum neck-injury impact. They utilize frenzied rhythms, mid-paced head-chuggers, and the occasional blast beat to offer variety to the listener. Songs such as <i>Release the Lions</i>, <i>Chronology Bleached</i>, and <i>Overblade</i> work these song-writing tools to build a catastrophic catalog of face-pummeling perfection.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Those of you not keen on the death metal style of vocals should still give Tacit Fury a try. Although the music is good enough to overshadow some peoples’ taste in the vocals, I couldn’t imagine these tunes fronted with any other type of delivery. Although many death metal vocalists can sound similar, there are indeed both “good” and “terrible” death metal vocalists, and Fury’s frontman Enoth is damn good at what he does.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Check out the tunes below, and if you dig ‘em as much as I think you will, the $3 asking price for a 12-track album is a damn good deal. As a side note, they have made their <i>"Horrors From Depth"</i> release available as a FREE download <a href="http://tacitfury.bandcamp.com/album/horrors-from-depth-free-download" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

As a fan of the raw punk and thrash attack of Itaily’s <b>VIOLENTOR</b>, it’s no wonder why I instantly fell for the rumble and roll of <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/HI.GH.officialpage" target="_blank">HI-GH</a></b>.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Yeah, these guys harness enough raw power to kill an elephant, grinding away at teeth-shattering punk and speed metal riffage mixed with head banging rhythms and venomous vocals. At times, with the use of dynamic repetition in their riffs and with vocalist Tommaso Slowly’s in-your-face performance, HI-GH sounds like a speed/thrash-based, less industrial <b>Ministry</b> on steroids (Check out the end to <i>'HI-GH (Can You Roll It For Me)'</i>). All this is in wonderful contrast to some of HI-GH’s more, shall we say, <i>soulful</i> guitar work, showing a bit of love for their 70s metal influences.</div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Catchy and pissed, THIS is thrash ’n’ roll at it’s best! Give HI-GH a listen below and then check out their Facebook page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HI.GH.officialpage" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbNxCwYvNILUbhUZJYCbEtCdAk1FY-RTgBIr7H58OwSQRqmuRmxqBciuYpi9DSpM7MV5yyIfU93qJSsoAedpZ2xWLc1O-gIxxyBKc4dnmidBNqwygr5BO2ucUPWhizYxTGf_uNFrxHlHI/s1600/exaloud_logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbNxCwYvNILUbhUZJYCbEtCdAk1FY-RTgBIr7H58OwSQRqmuRmxqBciuYpi9DSpM7MV5yyIfU93qJSsoAedpZ2xWLc1O-gIxxyBKc4dnmidBNqwygr5BO2ucUPWhizYxTGf_uNFrxHlHI/s1600/exaloud_logo.jpg" /></a></div>
Although I am frequently updating the NWOTM Blog’s <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/New-Wave-of-Thrash-Metal-Blog/211418035539696" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>, I’ve been keeping this site dark until I can devote some time toward its redesign. However, a feller by the name of Aldo posted the name “<b>EXALOUD</b>” on the afore-mentioned Facebook page, and possessing such a curious soul, I looked these guys up online.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Needless to say, I found Exaloud, and so here I am dusting off the NWOTM Blog to brag about the extreme ass-kicking these Russian based thrashers delivered to me. MY GOD!!!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
However, before my well needed ass-kicking, during my research I found a handful of live videos of Exaloud performing a mass of Metallica cover tunes. Not bad, but not knowing anything about these guys, I thought they were simply a local cover band with maybe a couple mediocre originals thrown in for fun.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Was I in for a rude awakening!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Their name led me to a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Exaloud/699103886789153" target="_blank">nondescript Facebook page</a> as well as a <a href="http://vk.com/exaloud" target="_blank">Russian social media page</a> (which I cannot read). So I still had zero info on these guys, but I was eventually led to <a href="https://soundcloud.com/exaloud" target="_blank">their Soundcloud page</a>, and this is where the thrash heavens opened up.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
What I found were eleven songs of riff-laden aggression. Thrash metal that could easily rival the best of ‘em. While one could hear the old-school <b>Metallica</b>/<b>Megadeth</b> worship in these tunes (LOTS of Mustaine-driven bad-assery), Exaloud took these influences and breathed new life in the genre, creating a batch of songs that are vibrant and hungry.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
The dynamics to each tune are pure ear candy, and the solos (as well as the rhythms under them) become living beasts, standing out as vital parts to the song structure.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I must make mention again of the riffs throughout - all tight, catchy, and damn near perfect. I would pick out a highlight, but since I am still digesting these marvelous tunes, I can’t pinpoint a favorite. I can only say that I would be hard-pressed to find any filler within these eleven songs.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Exaloud is a triumphant step up for the New Wave of Thrash Metal and if there is justice in the world, the band will eventually rake in legions of fans to savor what they have to offer. I hope this little write-up can help in the slightest.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Check out all eleven tracks below!! YEAH!!!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Thanks, Aldo!!!</div>

New stuff from Toxic Holocaust, Warbringer, and more!<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">The past couple of weeks have been good for thrash fans! We find ourselves swimming in newly released material from </span><b style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Toxic Holocaust,</b><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> lyric videos from </span><b style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Warbringer</b><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> and </span><b style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Onslaught</b><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">, and a full music vid from the mighty </span><b style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Annihilator</b><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">.</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
The tune from Toxic Holocaust sounds vicious and hungry, assuring that the new album <i>Chemistry of Consciousness</i> is going to be a monster. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
The same could easily be said about Warbringer's track <i>Hunter Seeker</i>. A hard-hitting thrasher with sweeps of brutally melodic touches. Keep in mind that the new album <i>'IV: Empires Collapse'</i> includes guitarist Jeff Potts and bassist Ben Mottsman, plucked from the raging bad-ass machine known as <b>Mantic Ritual</b>. This album will crush!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Onslaught's <i>Chaos Is King</i> is truly a wall of sonic violence. An absolute relentless attack of metal. It doesn't get scarier than this.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Annihilator's <i>No Way Out</i> is a rolling thrash tune with elements of hard rock that echo the rockin' stomp of <b>Clutch</b> (and I'm not saying that just because vocalist Dave Padden is sporting the thick Neil Fallon beard). Great tune!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Anyway, enough babbling! Let's scroll down and check out some killer METAL!!<br />

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
If things would have gone to plan, I would be congratulating Denmark's own <b><a href="http://www.facebook.com/batterythrash" target="_blank">BATTERY</a></b> on their record deal as well as the November release of their new album <i>Armed With Rage</i>.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
However, due to some disagreements between band and label, the deal fell through, leaving our brothers-in-thrash without a home for their already-recorded album. Sure, this isn't the first time, nor the last in which a band will wind up in this type of circumstance, but it still sucks all the same. Remember the <a href="http://nwotm.blogspot.com/2012/06/interview-tantara-getting-based-on-evil.html" target="_blank">mess involving Tantara</a> early last year?</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
So while Battery explores some options, they were cool enough to share a few of their newly recorded tunes, offering up a big bite of what we'll find on <i>Armed With Rage</i> once it's finally released.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Speaking of new albums, Ireland's <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Animatorireland" target="_blank">ANIMATOR</a></b> released their new album <i>Blacklisted</i> this past summer. The album crushes with interesting riffage and cool vocals. When I say "interesting", I am not downplaying the songwriting in a smirky patronizing manner. No, it <b>IS</b> freakin' interesting, serving up thrash with pure rock and tastes of punk which add colorful layers of keen madness that is catchy and wonderfully ass-kicking. Songs such as <i>Ultra '53</i> have so much crammed into it without feeling weighed down. Then we have the tune <i>Manipulator</i> which is a fantastic hard rock/thrash hybrid which actually brought a bit of <b>DEVO</b> to my mind. What the hell, right?</div>

Many beer drinkers out there will definitely relate to the song's subject matter. I'm sure that at least once in your life you cried out in a pained voice, "This isn't a twist off?!" - all while nursing a fresh wound earned from a stubborn bottle cap.</span><br />

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I've been gone a while, and although I am still on my extended break from blogging, I found a little extra time this evening...</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
...so let me stick my forehead-bruised noggin up from the dark just long enough for it to get kicked clean off my neck by some face-shattering <b>METAL!</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
First, check out the outright brutal deathrash of the London based band <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Necroriser/161784363873396" target="_blank">NECRORISER</a></b>. These guys slam together killer old-school thrash hooks with the browbeating insanity of grave digging death metal. Necroriser headlocks the listener with furiously heavy riffs that march along the fretboard like an army of sledgehammer-wielding zombies. That's right. The combination of headbanging chug and hammering speed make for a blissful savaging of the eardrums.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Check out the band's most recent release <i>"Violent"</i> below and hit the band up <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Necroriser/161784363873396" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
----------------------------------</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I mentioned <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/SpaceChaserBand" target="_blank">SPACE CHASER</a></b> on my Facebook page a while back, meaning to eventually give the Berlin based band some NWOTM Blog-love in the future.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I love their sound, which seems to have a bit of <b>Gama Bomb</b> worship mixed with the punch of U.S. bi-coastal thrash influences. The riffs are both frantic and catchy, hooking the ear before attacking with a speedy head-battering. Vocalist Siegfried Rudzynski offers a lot of charisma in his delivery, going from clean to rough to high-pitched, all working well alongside the dynamics of the music.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Jam out to the tunes below and if you like 'em, go tell Space Chaser how much they kick ass on their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SpaceChaserBand" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>. Bands like that, I reckon.<br />

Thrash, thrash, THRASH! For the past few days, I've been slamming my head to the insanity of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HomicideHagridden" target="_blank"><b>Homicide Hagridden</b></a>, allowing them to bloody my ears with some well-meaning Slayer worship. The Hagridden crew adds a few drops of Teutonic influences to hammer home a thunderous mass of speedy metal, complete with fist-pumping e-string gallops and the occasional face-stomping breakdown.<br />
<br />
Damn, these guys seriously kicked my ass hard. Their tune <i>Black As War</i> is as thrash as it gets!<br />
<br />
Check out Homicide Hagridden's new album <i>"US"</i> below, buy it <a href="http://homicidehagridden.bandcamp.com/album/us" target="_blank">here</a>, and then hit these guys up on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HomicideHagridden" target="_blank">Facebook</a>.<br />

<br />
Surfing around
the mighty YouTube can offer up unexpected results when searching for
thrash metal. Whilst mining through mountains of crap, there are nuggets of
gold to be found, and found one I surely did! Unfortunately that particular
golden nugget had already broken up. Sad.<br />
<br />
For those of you not privy to the band, let me introduce the late
<b>MOTAM DEATH SQUAD</b>, a crossover band from Italy that gives a fair share
of nods to Teutonic thrash as it does <b>S.O.D.</b>, <b>Anthrax</b>, <b>Sadus</b>, and even <b>
Scatterbrain</b> (to a point).<br />
<br />
These guys were in it for the FUN, and although most of us like our
thrash fun as well as fast, it would all be for nothing without kick-ass
riffs to propel the festivities along. NO WORRIES here, my finicky
friends, as their 2011 self-titled album is swirling with face-ripping
riffage, backed by head-slamming dynamics and rhythms.<br />
<br />
The fact that MDS's album didn't reach beyond the self-released
status is a shame. Supposedly, before they broke up they made their self-titled album available as a free download. As of this writing, I cannot find the official download link to this brilliant parting gift from a
killer band I never had the pleasure of knowing while they were still kicking. Boo.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, we can still jam <b>Motam Death Squad</b> via YouTube. Check out the full album below (note that the music begins around the 1:55 mark), and if your internet searching skills trump mine, please post any found info about MDS in the comments section. (Yes, I found their <a href="https://myspace.com/motamds" target="_blank">MySpace page</a>, but, man...if there is any useful info to be found there, I surely could not find it.)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sometimes I come across a band's demo that may not be perfect in execution, but behind the raw attempt is a spark of pure bad-assery. Such is the case with Santiago's young thrash band <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ParkcrestOficial" target="_blank">PARKCREST</a></b>.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The band's new demo <i>"Curse"</i> might turn a few thrash fans away at first listen with its rough performance in spots, but looking a little further into the riffs and song structure, one will find a carnivorous budding metal band that offers up a killer, closed-fisted thrashing.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
As I jam to Parkcrest's available tunes, I find that other than the occasional loose musical execution, the only true sore spot would be with the vocals. Not that the vocals are all that bad, but in cases such as the chorus to <i>Into The Light,</i> it is apparent that adding melodic vocal lines is not a strong point.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
That minor wincing aside, I have to say that the riffs are savage, pieced together into solid songs filled with slamming dynamics and competent guitar solos. Songs such as <i>Dark Magicians</i> and <i>Curse All</i> pull off fast and interesting riffage, engaging me as a metal fan and had me hitting the "repeat" button.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Again, is it perfect? No, but who cares? Parkcrest kicks ass and I'm definitely going to keep my eye on these guys to see how they'll develop in their future recordings.</div>
<div class="p2">

From Athens we have <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Damned-Creed/137854719582836" target="_blank">DAMNED CREED</a></b>, who recently released their new album titled <i>Choose A Side</i>.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
These guys flex their musical muscles in head-bangable riffs with nods to <b>Slayer</b> and <b>Overkill</b>. Tunes such as<i> Enemies Among Us</i> and <i>Doomsayers of Greed</i> are thoroughly crushing exercises in fist-pumping aggression. Fast and brutal, Damned Creed pulls off each song with razor sharp precision, handing one back his or her bruised ass after each listen.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
At times, the dynamics behind the riff, such as the mid-paced jam at the end of <i>Doomsayers</i> border on an epic feel, making me wish they would keep the momentum running with a two or three minute solo soaring over it all. Sure, such an addition might be unnecessary, but some of these riffs are so damn good, I don't want them to stop!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Give Damned Creed a listen below and then thank them on their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Damned-Creed/137854719582836" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> for offering up their new album as a FREE download <a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15630796/Damned_Creed-Choose_A_Side.zip" target="_blank">here</a>!</div>

Bring on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/SAGROS/49456738598" target="_blank"><b>SAGROS</b></a>, a Colombian band intent on dealing out some gut-punching angry METAL. I was turned onto Sagros after hearing their neck-snapping song <i>Anger Blinds The Mind</i>, which immediately tossed me into a brawl of chugging riffage. The tight intensity of the song had me at the get-go, but the riffs turn to a catchy dynamic halfway through that makes me want to start a makeshift moshpit in my living room, the casualties being my turned-over chairs and bruised shins. Totally metal.<br />
<br />
These guys have been flying the thrash metal flag for over 15 years and will finally release their debut album through <a href="http://www.hateworks.net/" target="_blank">Hateworks</a> sometime this year.<br />
<br />

Now I bring you the majestic <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ZodiacCiphers" target="_blank"><b>ZODIAC CIPHERS</b></a>, a thrash band that drinks from the cup of Slayerisms, filled to the top with a suicide of power thrash and death metal. Vocalist Kjell Andersson mainly refrains from the "Cookie Monster" vokills, opting for the traditional thrash bark/clean singing. The music however rages with a death metal charge, then switches gears to the melodic, and then offers up some Bay Area aggression before heading back into the grave. It's all a killer mix to piece together into some solid metal songs.<br />

From Peru we have <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mazeofterrorthrash" target="_blank"><b>MAZE OF TERROR</b></a>, a band that unleashes a sick and thunderous thrash pounding with their new EP titled <i>Skull Crusher</i>. This three-piece specialize in metal that rakes the listener across gravel with guttered riffs and fire-spewing vocals. The song <i>Rival</i> is a chugfest of speedy angst while <i>Hatred and Repression</i> is a tune that offers up plenty of deliberate mosh-worthy moments.<br />

One of my faves, the almighty <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SIBERIANMEATGRINDER" target="_blank"><b>SIBERIAN MEAT GRINDER</b></a>, has unleashed a new album titled <i>Versus The World</i>.<br />
<br />
Like the band's previous release <i>Hail To The Tsar</i>, <b>SMG</b> takes the listener on a ride of crossover madness peppered with metallic jams, punk rock, and grooving riff rock. <br />
<br />
Songs such as <i>From The Dust Returned</i> and <i>Die On The Road</i> demonstrate what SMG does best, mixing favorite genres seamlessly, although I do wish they would utilize those tiny bits of crunchy traditional metal and swampy riffs more often. Still, it all freakin' rocks.<br />
<br />
If this sounds like your cup of tea, then check out the album below and hit the band up on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SIBERIANMEATGRINDER" target="_blank">Facebook</a>. However, if you don't like hardcore-laden heavy-ass music, then go <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thetingtings/app_178091127385" target="_blank">here</a>.<br /><br />

I thought my online searching skills were at least up to an intermediate level of expertise, but the results I come up with for this metal band are minimal at best. Argh!!!<br />
<br />
No matter. I had recently stumbled upon a couple of HumanHunter's songs on YouTube, both which provided a decent ass-kicking, so I'm passing them on to you.<br />
<br />
Based on what we have here, HumanHunter leans toward the blackened thrash sound, offering a full-on assault of head banging riffs and rhythms, topped with undead-like vocals…like a specter vomiting sand, which is always cool.<br />
<br />
The song <i>Insomnia</i> caught my attention with its driving mid-paced attack, but the pure bad-assery of the tune <i>Angel's Death</i> solidified me as a fan. The latter tune's first minute and a half treats the listener to a crushingly heavy riff stomp while vocalist David Lorente distorts his vocals to a maddening level. It works well, but then the song kicks into gear, hitting us with horns-up thrash and a catchy-as-hell sing-along chorus.<br />
<br />
So far there are some classic moments to find on HH's self-titled 2011 release, but I just need to hear the rest!<br />
<br />
Check out the tunes below and then shrug as you check out their <a href="http://www.myspace.com/humanhuntermetal" target="_blank">MySpace page</a>. <a href="http://www.spirit-of-metal.com/groupe-groupe-HumanHunter-l-en.html" target="_blank">Here's</a> a bit more info on them. Anyone with additional info, kindly post in the comments section below.<br />

<br />
Brutal, brutal, BRUTAL. Winnipeg's <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Besiegedthrash" target="_blank"><b>BESIEGED</b></a> hit that sickening sweet spot of kick-ass death-tinged thrash metal, making me shake my head in ecstatic disbelief. As I listen to their debut album <i>Victims Beyond All Help</i>, I am blown away by the sheer power of each song, belted out with uncompromising ferocity in attitude as well as musical competence.<br />
<br />
Battering my ears with unmercifully fast riffs and bloodthirsty vocals, Besieged brilliantly intertwines the old-school deathrash of early-era <b>Sepultura</b> with the frenzied brutality of <b>Demolition Hammer</b> and <b>Guillotine</b>. Offering no time to catch one's breath, the band's debut storms the listener with thrash metal that sounds fresh as it does violently PISSED…you know, as it should be!<br />
<br />
Indie label <a href="https://www.facebook.com/UnspeakableAxeRecords" target="_blank"><b>Unspeakable Axe</b></a> will reissue <i>Victims Beyond All Help</i> on July 9th (it was previously self-released by the band), and if they can afford the band substantial reach within the metal community, I believe we'll see this album on quite a few "Best Of" lists for 2013.<br />
<br />
Damn. Good. Metal.<br />

<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/leechmetal" target="_blank"><b>LEECH</b></a>, a New York metal band, utilizes many influences to solidify a sound that is absolutely face-melting. And I love to have my face melted!<br />
<br />
The blend of east coast thrash and hardcore is brought to life with a strong injection of crushing Swedish death metal (sans the "buzzsaw" sound). Leech's merging of these genres sounds natural and effortless, resulting in a most brutal ass-kicking.<br />
<br />
Vocalist Christian Geraldino fits Leech's musical delivery like a glove, offering up a touch of hardcore rhythms and gang shouts to complement his throaty thrash and death metal vocal assault.<br />
<br />
Leech provides music to which a metal fan can positively RAGE. Wanna rage? Good! Check out the tunes below, download 'em for FREE, and then visit Leech <a href="https://www.facebook.com/leechmetal" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

<br />
I'm just not writing about it. Blah.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm stopping in for a quick "how-do-you-do?" and to let you all in on a killer metal band out of Ireland.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/TwistedWrath" target="_blank"><b>TWISTED WRATH</b></a> is a driving mix of classic heavy metal and thrash. Drawing from a gamut of influences - from <b>Testament</b> to <b>W.A.S.P.</b> to <b>Iron Maiden</b> - these guys pull off some neck-damaging metal.<br />
<br />
Vocalist Patrick Fitzgerald strays from the typical thrash bark, opting for a more Blackie Lawless output, and it works well with Twisted Wrath's brand of blended metal.<br />
<br />
The guitars are tight, providing the crunch to well-constructed song structures and dynamics, all which could be easily utilized for a sonic face melting. We could all use one of those once in a while.<br />
<br />
Twisted Wrath has generously provided their new EP <i>"Madman's Chorus"</i> on their Bandcamp page as a FREE download (or Name Your Price). Get it <a href="http://twistedwrath.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Those of you who like a like little more old-school metal in your thrash should give these guys a listen. If you like what you hear, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TwistedWrath" target="_blank">let 'em know about it</a>!<br />
<br />

Ever since he seemingly disappeared from the public's eye during his bout with necrotizing fasciitis, we still hoped that eventually everything would be back to normal, and we'd have our Slayer back.<br />
<br />
New album. New tour. Original members.<br />
<br />
After all, Slayer…f*cking <b>SLAYER</b>…is something that is set in stone. Never ending and forever. A pioneering band that not only helped spawn thrash, but created riffs that would in turn create hundreds of bands looking to recreate that sound.<br />
<br />
That <b>SOUND</b>. Holy sh*t. You know it when you hear it. The Slayer <i>sound</i>. The four ingredients to that sonic brutality were Araya, Hanneman, King, and Lombardo, all key factors in establishing a solid foundation of metal in its purest form. Bold, scary, and completely kick-ass.<br />
<br />
<i>Reign In Blood</i> came out a full year before I gained my thrash wings. I had broke ground as a Slayer fan with <i>South of Heaven</i>, but before I bought the now classic album, I remember being vaguely afraid of Slayer. <i>Afraid? Scared?</i> Okay, that sounds a bit melodramatic, but I definitely saw them as an ominous group of musicians…the kind from which I should probably stay far away.<br />
<br />
At least that was my perception at the time. At 15 years-old, I was deep into Metallica, living and breathing <i>Master of Puppets</i>, and had just picked up Suicidal Tendencies' <i>How Will I Laugh Tomorrow…?</i> album. D.R.I.'s <i>4 of a Kind</i> had hit, and there was no turning back for me. I wanted faster and heavier!<br />
<br />
<i>South of Heaven</i> had been released, and I still remained a curious arm-length's distance away. It wasn't until a TV commercial aired, containing a snippet of Slayer playing the album's title track, that made me turn my head and say, "I want that!"<br />
<br />
I want <i>that</i>…the Slayer SOUND. Stemming from <i>Show No Mercy</i> and <i>Hell Awaits</i>, perfected with <i>Reign In Blood</i>, and grew to unstoppable proportions with <i>South of Heaven</i> and <i>Seasons in the Abyss</i>.<br />
<br />
Four ingredients. One sound.<br />
<br />
The sound that influenced multitudes of thrash and death metal bands. Would early Sepultura sound the same without Slayer? Would the breakdown in <i>Dead Embryonic Cells</i> exist without the blueprint from <i>Raining Blood</i>?<br />
<br />
Sorry. Retreading the impact Slayer has on metal would be reiterating the obvious, but it's still hard not to go down that path. However, it's impressive that Slayer remains a viable and thriving influence after 30-plus years. Especially for a type of music that was never intended to achieve more than underground status.<br />
<br />
But this type of music <i>did</i> bust out of the underground. After all, we have the <b>Big Four</b>. Some folks look at the "Big Four" concept as a bit cheesy, but I sure as hell don't. The four biggest selling thrash bands from back in the heyday of metal are monuments of what was a f*cking awesome time to be a metal head.<br />
<br />
Slayer was one of those four bands. Hanneman, as one of the four members of Slayer, was important to the sound and legacy of thrash metal as we know it today. He will be missed, but the sound he helped create lives stronger than ever today in the many, many bands influenced by Slayer.<br />
<br />
Slayer. Set in stone. Never ending and forever.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the music, Jeff.<br />
<br />
<br />

<b>Decibel Magazine</b> is streaming a new track from new wave of thrash big hitters <a href="https://www.facebook.com/evileuk" target="_blank"><b>EVILE</b></a>.<br /><br />The song, titled <i>Underworld</i>, is a more than promising peek at the band's upcoming album <i>"Skull"</i>, to be released on May 27th.<br /><br />Man, I really dig this cut. <i>Underworld</i> is a full-on thrasher, not meant to stray into tedious roads of contrived prog or heady musical statements. No, this one grabs by the arm, rips it out, and dines on it.<br /><br />If you want to check it out, and by all means you really should, <a href="http://www.decibelmagazine.com/featured/streaming-evile-underworld/" target="_blank">head over to <b>Decibel Magazine</b></a> for a taste of <i>Skull</i>!<br /><br />Come on May 27th!!<br />

Why? I don't remember. I must of been sickly excited about something the New Jersey thrash band did, and probably made the holiday declaration as a well-intended joke. Yet that declaration stuck in my head, and here we are a year later.<br />
<br />
So, you know…<b>Happy Condition Critical Day!</b><br />
<br />
Now although the NWOTM Blog was hoping the band's new album <i>Operational Hazard</i> would be out right now to help commemorate this special made-up holiday, you can still celebrate by downloading their <i>"Bred to Kill"</i> demo and promo song <i>"Random Acts of Killing"</i> for free from their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ConditionCriticalNJ" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>.<br />
<br />
While you're there, wish the band a Happy Condition Critical Day as well. I don't think they know anything about this, and it might be fun to confuse the hell out of 'em.<br />
<br />
Thrash and be merry!<br />

<br />
The video is for the song <i>Terminal Disease</i>, from the band's 2011 album <i>Violent Aggression</i> (re-released in 2012 via Xtreem Music), and it CRUSHES!<br />
<br />
If you haven't slammed to Deathraiser yet, you're missing out. These guys write music akin to driving in railroad spikes with your <b>face</b>. The speed and insanity they inject into their metal is both maddening and perfect.<br />
<br />
Check out the vid below (and beware of vocalist Thiago's crazed eyes!!), and then hit them up on either <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DeathraiserOfficial" target="_blank">Facebook</a> or <a href="http://www.myspace.com/deathraiser666" target="_blank">MySpace</a>.<br />

<br />
I am a huge fan of Essence's album <i>Lost in Violence</i>, and I'm positive their upcoming release <i>Last Night of Solace</i> will not suck.<br />
<br />
<i>Fractured Dimension</i> is a promising peek, layered with all kinds of
thrashing goodies - driving riffs, spot-on guitar work, and Lasse Skov's
unmistakable vocals.<br />
<br />
The ONLY thing that took me out of the song
was how similar the opening verse riff brings to mind the verse riff to <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TantaraThrash" target="_blank">Tantara</a></b>'s <a href="http://youtu.be/j_gPMwaw6TY" target="_blank"><i>Negligible Souls</i></a>. I seriously doubt this was a "rip-off" of sorts, and that's where
the similarities end. It still kicks magnitudes of ass.<br />
<br />
Check out the tune below, hit them up on Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EssenceMetal" target="_blank">here</a>, and <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/dk/album/last-night-of-solace/id610571973" target="_blank">pre-order</a> the album on iTunes!<br />
<br />
I'm looking forward to March 29th to get my order in for <i>Last Night of Solace</i>! <b>ESSENCE!!!</b><br />

Stay AWAKE!!Good ol' <a href="https://soundcloud.com/japan-nick" target="_blank">"Japan" Nick Perkel</a> brought a bit of news to the forefront with <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/mantic-ritual-is-back-with-dan-wetmore-jeff-pots-ben-mottsman-and-carlos-cruz" target="_blank">this</a> article. All I have to say is MANTIC RITUAL is BACK, baby!<br />
<br />
Okay…okay, I need to take it down a notch. I'm just excited. So far, they are reforming to play this year's <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ThrashoDeMayo" target="_blank"><b>Thrasho De Mayo</b></a> in Los Angeles. That's all, it seems. Sorry. So sorry.<br />
<br />
Baby steps. Baby steps.<br />
<br />
You see, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/manticritual" target="_blank">Mantic Ritual</a> should afford the possibility of this little get-together to become a full-fledged reunion. Why? Because back in 2009, they released the stellar thrash album <i>Executioner</i>, and then let that Perkel jerk see them live on three different occasions before slowly falling apart.<br />
<br />
What I'm trying to say, other than being jealous of anyone fortunate enough to see them on tour, is that their first album was a solid and slamming stepping stone to something earth-shattering - and I wanna <b>HEAR</b> it.<br />
<br />
So enough of this not-yet realized fabled modern thrash classic which dances around in my dreams like a treasure of shining brilliance I cannot embrace! Album #2 needs to happen, dammit!<br />

<br />
I love finding gems like this while roaming the thrash channels of the internet.<br />
<br />
Here we have <a href="https://www.facebook.com/StrikingBeast" target="_blank"><b>STRIKING BEAST</b></a>, a new thrash band out of Poland who just released their 4-song EP titled <i>Nuclear Genocide</i>.<br />
<br />
Striking Beast fished amongst the rivers of thrash metal clichés, reeling in song titles such as <i>Toxic Injection</i> and <i>Alcoholic Assault</i>, which admittedly had me check them out in the first place. Clichés don't bother me. Crappy music does. Thankfully, Striking Beast wraps those "Pizza Thrash" titles around some kick-ass, crushing thrash f'n METAL!<br />
<br />
The music is tight and in your face, offering up sharp riffs that are not only interesting and well-executed, but they end up serving their intended purpose: <i>thrash your freakin' NECK</i>.<br />
<br />
Yes, their songs rock, and you have no excuse to NOT check 'em out since Striking Beast is offering <i>Nuclear Genocide</i> up as a FREE download. Oh, and also because I am posting all of the EP's song below.<br />
<br />

No, but this is funny. Ever since Jeff Hanneman and the disease<i> necrotizing fasciitis</i> became intertwined for metal fans who leave their passionate opinions on the online metal forums, people have been clamoring for <b>SLAYER</b> to write a song titled after the skin-rotting affliction.<br />
<br />
Well, someone took the idea into their own hands and produced a very Slayer-esque effort to inject a little humor into a very serious disease. Behold the "Rare New Unreleased Slayer song" <i>Necrotizing Fasciitis</i>!<br />
<br />
As of this writing I don't know what band put this together, but damn, the guy really sounds like Tom Araya!<br />
<br />
Listen, have a laugh at the rather juvenile humor, and still give off some good vibes to our man Hanneman for a full recovery. He is needed in the REAL Slayer!<br />
