Hey brutal bangers,
This time some very brutal and also sick stuff awaits you so to range from bestial black/death metal to a blackened crust punk chanting the collapse of this world, so you have been warned!
And now
let's know the bands without uselessly extending this introduction!
INTOXICATED - "WALLED"
It seems that a certain
Evil Chuck Schuldiner produced "
Drain", an EP of an infamous Floridian thrash metal band called
Intoxicated (
FB page). Well, after 23 years from their self-released debut album "
Metal Neck", Intoxicated are back with a new EP, "
Walled" (
Seeing Red Records, 2020). Expect to be bombarded by a 6-track opus in which there is a totally old-school, wild and aggressive
death/thrash metal rooted in the lesson of Floridian bands such as the early
Death. Strong of guests like
Kenny Andrews (
Obituary) and
Brett Walker (that mixed the EP), "Walled" is
intense in the right way and even a bit
unpredictable (like in the abrupt slowdown of "
Smash the Line"), so it can
satisfy the death/thrash metal fanatics in different ways.
PURO ODIO - "PURO ODIO"
In a way or another,
Sentient Ruin Laboratories surprises always the listeners thanks to its unconventional and completely sick releases. The
self-titled debut EP of
Puro Odio, originally released in
2019 on vinyl by the same band and
recently edited on cassette by the the same Sentient Ruin Lab, isn't an exception to this. In fact, Puro Odio, throughout the EP, show a sort of
crust punk full of
palpable hate also because it's played not only with a lot of feedback but also through dark tunes very close to the
first wave of black metal in a
Hellhammer vein ("
Pesadilla"), so to remind me a bit of bands like
Systemik Viølence. Pity that it contains only 2 tracks per 5 minutes but the potentialities of this Spanish duo are
so promising that it's very easy to
overcome the scarce time of the EP!
BARBARIC HORDE - "AXE OF SUPERIOR SAVAGERY"
Fuck, it's
a lot of time that I don't talk about stuff released by
Godz ov War Productions! So, it's time to cover this gap by talking you about "
Axe of Superior Savagery", that it released this year with the company of
Rex Diaboli. This is the long-held debut album of
two Portuguese terrorists that I follow with great interest since their
early days when they debuted in
2016 with a very primitive demo entitled "
Gasmask Perpetrators" (
War Arts Productions). With "Axe of Superior Savagery",
Barbaric Horde cement their reputation of
bestial black/death metal smugglers playing along the lines of
Bestial Warlust,
Black Witchery,
Blasphemy (listen for example to "
Venomous of Infernal Carnage", that in some parts is very similar, indeed, to the Blasphemy's "
Ritual"!) and the likes. Ok, I listened many times to stuff of this kind since, you know, I
adore the bestial black/death metal but Barbaric Horde play it with
incredible conviction. Cruelty, apocalyptic tunes, demented screams, ultra-fast and militaristic drums, cavernous guitars... FUCK,
I can't ignore this adorable holocaust!
