When I first heard this band back in 2015, on their debut Above the Unworthy, I really liked them, but for some reason, I kinda lost interest in their next album. I am back on them now. I like this newest release a lot, as it seems more accessible to me.

Back in the early 2000s, I was very much into Mors Principium Est, and would even hazard to say that their first 2 LPs should be considered minor classics for the time period. However, as time passed, I drifted away from their style and into heavier territory, but when I heard this new album a while back, it caught my attention, and maybe it will catch yours as well.

This is an interesting album to me. The band has been active since 2008 with 3 EPs and a demo to their credit, and this is their first LP. These Finns have skillz and talent to spare, and they are labeled as thrash metal, but it doesn't have the grittiness that I want to hear in thrash. To me, this is basically heavy metal with some velocity, and I like it, but I wish that it were heavier at times.

I have to admit I haven't listened to this band a lot over the years, even though I have their 2004 release posted here, I hadn't paid much attention beyond that album. When I heard this new disc (first one in 19 years), I was pleasantly surprised, so now I am digging into some of their other albums as well.

I came across this disc on my Bandcamp feed a couple of weeks ago, and it immediately caught my ear, and I liked it a lot. I thought it was a 2025 release, but it seems that this was originally self-released in 2022, and I completely missed it. That's okay, though, because it's new to me now, and I am enjoying it.

After the 80s, I hadn't listened to much of Helstar's later material until a few months back, when our friend Bongripper dropped in here and promoted this disc in the chatbox. He actually said that he doesn't listen to this style of metal much anymore, but if he were going to, this would be one of the albums he would take the time for. That is all it took to get me to listen to this one, and I really enjoyed it, so much so that I went back and listened to their 2016 album, and I am liking it as well. It is also awesome to see that Larry Barragán and James Rivera are still together after all of these years.

I was a big fan of this band back in the 80s, but as my tastes changed at the end of that decade, I lost them after Nosferatu in '89. I haven't listened to much of their newer material until this year, and now I am here to say that this album is very good, along with their newest album too.

Our old friend SourceRa first turned me onto this band a few years ago, and I was happy to see this new EP several months back, and it picks up right where the previous left off. I am waiting for these guys to release a full-length. I want to hear what they create in a longer format.
