What can you expect from a band that dubs their music as "Brutal Crossover Thrash"? Exactly what they promise: an hyper-fast and intense crossover thrash metal with some demented blast-beats here and there. But these 4 Polish angry thrashers have also a good imagination, so there is no always a blind massacre throughout the 14 tracks composing their new album "Straight Outta Smogtwon" (Selfmadegod Records), that Mythrone Promotion sent me in physical format some time ago.
Great and responsible are the socio-political lyrics. These ones face the nuclear ("Possessed by Blyat"), the environment ("Plastic Death"...), the fake news ("Conspiracy", a song dedicated to the memory of Riley Gale, the singer of Power Trip unfortunately deceased in 2020) and other themes.
Last but not least, there are also guests of the calibre of Frank Blackfire (Sodom), Manu Joker and Jairo Vaz (both in Chaos Synopsis) and Konrad "Destroyer" Ramotowski (Untervoid, ex-Hate). At this point, there is need to say that the session drummer for the album was Friggi Mad Beats from the same Chaos Synopsis, and he did a very good job.
To say the truth, all the band did a very good job with their third album. Maybe, it needed, at least, an entire mid-tempo song, so to let to the listeners to take a little breath, because the album lasts even 40 minutes of extreme brutality. But fuck that, "Straight Outta Smogtown" is perfect for everyone into Cryptic Slaughter, Wehrmacht but also newer bands like Nadimaç and Holycide!
