October 31 - Bury The Hatchet

 

Genre: Heavy
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2014


1. Tear Ya Down
2. Bury The Hatchet
3. Down At Lover's Lane
4. Under My Gun
5. The House Where Evil Dwells
6. Growing Old
7. Gone To The Devil
8. Arsenic On The Rocks
9. Voodoo Island
10. Angel Dusted


4th album by October 31, 9 years after their last one. The album stays the thrashy traditional metal route of past albums and if you mixed a little Venom, a little Metallica and a little Rob Zombie in to one hellish drink you'd have the flavor of 'Bury the Hatchet'.

Deathhammer - Crimson Dawn

 

Genre: Black/Thrash
Country: Norway
Year: 2025



1. Abyssic Thunder
2. Satan's Sword
3. Stygian Lust
4. Nocturnal Windz Of Fire
5. Crimson Dawn
6. Legacy Of Pain
7. Die Eternal
8. Into The Blackness Of Hell




6th album by Deathhammer. If nothing more, 'Crimson Dawn' continues to uphold Deathhammer’s reputation as one of the most consistent acts in metal today. They’re the same mad-shrieking, torch wielding crew as they ever were but this recordshows no signs of struggle in achieving the band’s simple on paper but difficult in practice vision, a timeless take on classic thrash/speed metal standards given to their own mayhemic defiance.

6. Seventh Gate
7. DH Stomp
8. Solace Denied

10. Process Of Elimination
11. Hatred Bestowed


3rd album by Dead Heat. Raw, aggressive and primitive, their sound has authenticity in vast supplies, but also the demented energy that typified many of the genre's early classics. This is hard hitting stuff that will go straight to your gut, that will grab you by the throat and only let go after you've gone through the whole 36 minutes that has you attempting to survive this hardcore/crossover/thrash metal onslaught.

Debut album by Bent Sea, consisting of vocalist Sven De Caluwé (Aborted), guitarist/drummer Dirk Verbeuren (Megadeth), and bassist Shane Embury (Napalm Death), who replaced temporary bassist Devin Townsend a year after their formation in 2011. It is classic grindcore through and through, bringing dissonance, technicality, brutality, and even a hint of atmosphere to the table.

Urn - Demon Steel

 

Genre: Black/Thrash
Country: Finland
Year: 2025


1. Retribution Of The Dead
2. Heir Of Tyrants
3. Are You Friends With Your Demons
4. Burning Blood's Curse
5. Turbulence Of Misanthropy
6. Iron Star
7. Wings Of Inferno
8. Cold Void Skin
9. Ruthless Paranoia
10. Predator Of Spiritforms


6th album by Urn, 6 years after their last one. This is still heavy, energetic stuff with that thrashy edge, but it sounds less black to me than it used to. The vocals are softer and more tuneful and the riffs and leads are a lot more accessible than they used to be. Enjoyable, even if it's not as feral as it used to be.

5th album by The Great Old Ones, 6 years after their last one. The album succeeds in creating music that is atmospheric and incredibly engaging. It’s also a fantastic follow-up to 'Cosmicism', continuing their legacy as one of the main Lovecraftian black metal bands out there.

It seems as if the band wasn’t under any pressure while working on the songs and album. The songs offer versatility in sound, where pace and aggression alternates with darkness.

Dark Angel - Extinction Level Event

 

Genre: Thrash
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2025


1. Extinction Level Event
2. Circular Firing Squad
3. Woke Up To Blood
4. Apex Predator
5. Sea Of Heads
6. Atavistic
7. Scalar Weaponry
8. Scarface The Room
9. E Pluribus Nemo
10. Terror Construct
11. Extraction Tactics


5th album by Dark Angel, 34 years after their last one! While it contains some good songs, it also includes fillers, making it a decent thrash metal release that, at the same time, cannot compete with the legendary releases from the late ’80s. The production is clean and modern, yet it lacks both weight and depth; the final sound comes across as sterile and devoid of dynamism.

Svartsot - Peregrinus

 

Genre: Folk/Mel.Death
Country: Denmark
Year: 2025


1. Como Póden Per Sas Culpas
2. Tarditas
3. Communitas
4. Simplicitas
5. Libertas

6th album by Svartsot. The contrast between brutality and playful tones is very strong in Svartsot, making their mix immediately catchy. 'Peregrinus' remains a fairly varied album that doesn’t hesitate to venture into all areas to convince. The strength of this album is its easy-to-listen-to nature. It flows well, and really doesn’t outstay its welcome.

5th album by Reflection, 8 years after their last one. This is a record that storms out of the gates with all the fire and fury you’d expect from a band that’s been hammering away at the anvil of true metal for over three decades. It’s an album that not only lives up to the band’s legacy but pushes it further.

Necrochakal - Golgothian Orgies Of Bestial Lust

 

Genre: Black/Thrash
Country: Greece
Year: 2025


1. Demonic Invasion To Gethsemane
2. Satanas Rebirth
3. Thorns Upon The Head Of The Carrion
4. Scapegoat Crucifixion
5. Golgotha Necromancer
6. Baphomet Deathkode
7. Orgies Of Lust On The Mount Of Skull
8. Thanatopsis
9. Son Of Loss... Judas Goat


Debut album by Necrochakal. This is very old school, with some hints of very early Sodom, Destruction and the chaotic Brazilian thrash bands of the same era. It's fast, savage, raw blackened thrash with very little polish and a dark, putrid vibe throughout. The barked vocals are insane and pretty much indecipherable and are the perfect fit for the chaotic music on offer.
