Chainsaw - Satan

 

Genre: Black/Thrash
Country: Greece
Year: 2024


1. Mentor Of The Tormentor
2. Burn His Corpse
3. Boiling Cauldron
4. Death By 69
5. Cry Blood
6. Satan
7. Go For The Throat
8. Amok
9. The Dead Watch You
10. Full Of Evil



3rd album by Chainsaw, 7 years after their last one. Thick bass lines, energizing guitars and hooligan vocal lines along with intensely maltreated drums set the pace, all so well thrown in the boiling cauldron in which Chainsaw composed the ten tracks the album features that makes 'Satan' an almost 40 minutes of aggressive pleasure, a crescendo of brutality and thrash 'n' roll.

Auriferous Flame - The Insurrectionists And The Caretakers

 

Genre: Black
Country: Greece
Year: 2024




1. The Insurrectionists
2. The Caretakers
3. An Oration To The Storm





3rd album by Auriferous Flame. The songs here are very much in line with second-wave black metal, recalling Emperor or early Satyricon with sprawling arrangements and some moody interludes. It’s explosive in it passion and storming in its black/thrashing intensity, but also remarkably elaborate, technically eye-popping, and at times surprisingly atmospheric.

2-track 'Ep by Armory. Speed is once again king here, reminiscent of the more aggressive and dark '80s speed metal while still offering a melodic edge so as to draw in potential listeners who could be unsuspectingly brought over to the dark side.

2nd album by Speedrush, 8 years after their last one. Τhe songs are driven by the guitars, which are played with a frenetic intensity that probably left a few fretboards smoking, but the riffs are not as purposefully jagged as pure thrash. The songwriting has a more traditional metal sensibility that shines through the speedy delivery.

Here you'll be treated to almost tender melodies, as well as carried away by aggressive outbursts and encouraged to sway along to the groove. Then again carried by ambient sounds or confused by progressive parts.
