With their newest release, Frightful now has 2 albums of consistent quality under their bullet belt. They continue to pay homage to an old school style of death thrash on this album and again they do it quite well for my tastes.

My friend nuttinface had told me about this band a few years back and said I should check them out, but I never did until just recently. The members of this band have a ton of experience in other bands, but I shied away because I didn't want to hear the guy who sang this song (which I loved, by the way) sing black metal now. I do have to admit, though, that I like this album as there are some skilled performances from the various members and Phill's black metal vocals aren't the worst I have heard.

This is the latest installment from Fractured Insanity, which is a band I have liked for a long time now. This sounds different than their older material but that makes sense because there aren't any founding members remaining in the lineup. One of the guitarists has been in the band since 2008, four years after inception, so he knows their history but the current style has changed.

Witness: -[*]-
I came across this album a couple of weeks ago, and my initial reaction was, Wow! Then, it was where in the hell was this album back in '93 when I was looking for something like this. Actually, I was looking for stuff just like this in '87 or '88 because by 1993 thrash had a much heavier and industrialized sound than this, but I love this style. The dude has amazing range in his vocals, the riffs are heavy and catchy, and the overall production is solid for an independent release. These dudes were from Orange County, CA., and unfortunately would only put out this 1 album that I am glad to have finally discovered, albeit 30+ years too late.

This band has been highly prolific throughout their existence, putting out 10 full-length albums over a 12 year period, yet they're not a band you hear much buzz about. It is too bad because they have created some good music over the years, with this newest album being a prime example of their skills.

Another promising band from France who, unfortunately, have only released this single EP so far. I know from the original post that this was one CarlG had shared with us.

Damn, Germany is hitting it hard here in early 2025 with killer OSDM releases from newer bands, and Hellgrav is right at the point of attack. These guys are all veterans from other bands and they have created an album that is a laser-focused death metal onslaught.

I remember CarlG promoted this band heavily when their 2022 album dropped, but I also remember him saying that he didn't care for this release as much. I think I can hear some of the parts he didn't like, but for my tastes, this is still a very good death metal album and worthy of attention.
