SPAWNED FROM HATE: PROMO 2018

SPAWNED FROM HATE: PROMO 2018

    Upon listening to their latest release Promo 2018, it is plain to see that UK bringers of brutality, Spawned From Hate have come a long way since their previous offering, the 2015 EP Accelerated Butchery. Containing only 2 tracks, Promo 2018 is short and sweet, which is the only real downside here. That said, every second of the just less than 6 minutes running time is crammed with excellent Death-Metal of the highest standard. 
   Sticking to the style and sounds explored on Accelerated Butchery, Promo 2018 is firmly rooted in the classic Brutal and old-school Death-Metal soil. The first track, "Elective Amputation" is very much in the vein of Perceptive Deception era Disavowed, fused with all the charm and fury of Cannibal Corpse. The opening track is bursting with crushing intensity, thick rhythmic riffs, a decent splash of guitar and bass intricacy, all capped off with Daniel Phipps solid tradition Death-Metal vocals. The speed at which the opening track is delivered is worth mentioning also, as although played at a great rate, none of the musical skill and quality has been compromised or traded off in the pursuit of trying to be the fastest, a rainbow that so many other artists stumble and fall trying to chase.   
  The second and sadly last track of the Promo 2018, "Hereditary Hatred", has an irresistible Suffocation infusion to its sound, resulting from the amazing groovy Slam riffs and sophisticated technical lead guitar work. As the closing track slows towards it's conclusion, the intoxicating vibes of the slide riffs carry the listener into an induced state of compulsive headbanging, leaving you hungry for more.   
   The cohesive musicianship displayed here is flawless. Although both tracks have certain characteristics reminiscent of other pioneering artists, Promo 2018 has a very refreshingly unique edge, showing Spawned From Hate's own musical identity and their massive potential to take the Death-Metal scene by storm.

EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA

  EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA         The Thrash Metal hierarchy has long been constructed around the mainstream success of the American "Big Four", dwarfing their peers outside of the clique with their mass popularity and stratospheric record sales. Thanks to bands such as Exodus, Testament and Overkill, a revolution has begun. The most recent releases from those bands comprising the Big Four have been good at best, while the latest albums from these previously mentioned outsiders have been breathtakingly excellent.    Persona Non Grata is a crushingly heavy slab of solid Thrash Metal. Gary Holt and fellow guitarist Lee Altus whip up a veritable storm of crunchy, Thrashing, whiplash-inducing riffs from start to finish. A superhuman barrage of drum battery is unleashed by Tom Hunting, accompanied by Jack Gibson's booming, thundering and raking bass notes. All the while Steve Souza sings, screams and snarls like a rabid and possessed vocal maestro....

NO NONSENSE METAL REVIEWS: THE TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2021

  NO NONSENSE METAL REVIEWS: THE TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2021     Despite lockdowns, travel restrictions and the cancellation of normality as a result of an ever present global pandemic, 2021 has been a very healthy year for heavy music. With the cancellation and indefinite postponement of tours, festivals and live music in general, bands and artists have been forced to explore alternative avenues and express their artistic visions and passions in other ways. The down time away from the road has left bands with schedules empty enough to write and record new material, some of which has proven to be exceptionally strong new albums, EPs and compilations. The phenomena of the "lockdown live album" as well as live streaming events and virtual concerts have also become a commonplace staple in many band's discography, showing defiantly that COVID-19 and the consequent restrictions enforced will never suffocate the breath of creativity or shroud the light of the soul. Making the be...
