Back in 1989, I found this album in my local record store and knew nothing about the band, but as was typically the case, I bought the vinyl anyway. I remember getting home and putting this on the turntable and being totally blown away by these tracks, with my favorite track being Wicked Mystic. State-of-the-art technical thrash metal, and while I have not followed their output closely in recent years, in my opinion, the band has not equaled the quality of this album from back in the day.

This new album from Chainsword was released back in May, and it took me a minute to get to it, but after a few listens, I can attest that it is pretty damn good. I could have sworn that I had their 2021 album posted here already, but I can't find it.

I first heard Impureza back in 2011 when I found their La iglesia del odio album. I listened to it a few times and kinda liked their use of flamenco guitar in death metal, but then I lost track of the band for many years. Then, a few months back, I listened to this new album, and now, I'm getting back into them again.

Here is a decent album from several years back that I only discovered recently. It would be interesting to hear how these guys have progressed over the past 9 years, and supposedly, they are still active, so maybe they will give us something new in the near future.

Damn, this band has been around since 2011, and this is only their 2nd release and I for one really like it. Their first album is from 2014, and I've never heard that one, but it's available for NYP, so I will definitely check it out. One of the things that makes this band very intriguing is that 4/5 members have been in the band since the beginning, honing their skills, and I think it shows on this release, because it's fukking killer!

Avernal is not a band that I have listened to a lot over the years, even though they have been at it since 1993. However, I do like their 2016 album, and this new one is really hitting me pretty hard as well. Metal-Archives states that they are tagged as death-n-roll here in later years, but I am not hearing any of that on this disc, just thrashing death metal.

This is an interesting band and album. I hadn't listened to Haxprocess much, even though I had purchased their previous album back in 2023. This is the band's Transcending Obscurity debut and it is quite good, actually. It is only 4 tracks, but it clocks in at over 44 minutes of quality progressive death thrash metal.

This album caught my attention as soon as the first riff from track #2 came through my car stereo speakers. The dirgy tone and heaviness of the band's sound were strangely soothing to my road rage. I knew immediately, this is a good one.
