Year: 2013
Genre: Thrash Metal

8. Thrash Rider

Witness: -[*]-
I first discovered Endless Recovery with their 2015 release Revel in Demise and I immediately fell in love with their violent old-school brand of thrash metal. I didn't come across this their 1st LP until 2018 and by that time the band had already split up, which is a shame because they created some neck-snapping music.

After almost 12 years of existence, this is another first for TDC as this is the 1st band from Vietnam that I have posted here. I remember there was an EP out from another Vietnamese band several months back that was pretty good too but I can't think of the name now. This is labeled as melodic death but I hear some thrashy-ness in it as well and I like it.

Witness: -[*]-
This 3-piece unit from Spain is one of many bands to carry the Apparition moniker and not to be confused with the LA-based version, these guys play an old-school style of death metal that is highly appealing to me. This album was physically released in July 2023 and then re-issued again this week.

I like this album. These guys are from CG's neck of the woods and they are labeled as melodic death but it sounds more thrashy than melodic to my ears and there is some nice guitarwork on these tracks as well. Check it and see what you think.

I really liked their previous disc and then kind of ignored this one for a bit and that seems to be typical with me nowadays. I do want to say though that this is a good listen although, I still think I like Chair Liquide better.
