Pyracanda - Losing Faith

 

Genre: Thrash
Country: Germany
Year: 2024

1. Hellfire
2. Don't Wait For
3. Mouth Warrior
4. Losing Faith
5. Misanthrope
6. History Twister
7. We Are More
8. Spoke In The Wheel
9. What Builds My Pride

10. Hold On!

3rd album by Pyracanda, 32 years after their last one. They haven’t lost their inspiration and came back with a good album of solid and genuine thrash metal with some melodic and modern vibes. They continue delivering a very interesting mixture of classic thrash with some power and speed influences. The sound is original and the compositions show an articulated and technical approach in the songwriting, but without following in boring and hyper progressive territories.

10. Tolerar Lo Intolerante
11. El Dìa De Mi Suerte 

Debut album by Rogo. It is a blistering cocktail of galloping crust punk, chainsawing metallic riffs and a maelstrom of thrashing chaos. Heavy, bleak and reflective of real global issues, 'In Un Mondo Senza Violenza' delivers a sonic manifesto for a world without borders and free of structural, economic and state violence.

3rd album by Achelous. Picking up where the last album, 'The Icewind Chronicles', left off, Achelous gets right to it, doling out mighty riffs with an absolutely crushing guitar tone. Oriental touches mix with wonderful female vocals, folk passages that strongly strengthen the epic element, heavy metal at its best as we learned and love it.

The Norwegian act’s signature sound-layered with nature-themed textures and epic melodies-creates a immersive journey through darkened realms.

Pokolgép - Vissza Sose Nézz

 

Genre: Heavy/Speed
Country: Hungary
Year: 2024

1. Vissza Sose Nézz

7. Áldomás
8. Neked
9. Fogadj El
10. Utolsó Szívdobbanás

15th album by Pokolgép, 9 years after their last one. It is a consistently great album! Kukovecz and fellow guitarist Zalán Kiss have stuffed the album with great riffs and lead guitar and the songwriting is so memorable and fresh that it never feels like you’re listening to a band well into the fourth decade of its career.

Aardvark - Tough Love

 

Genre: Heavy
Country: Australia
Year: 2024

1. Ankh
2. Tough Love
3. Don't Call Me A Liar
4. Fire
5. Destructor
6. Fight Back
7. Killer
8. The Dream Is Nearly Over
9. Too Old To Cry

Debut album by Aardvark. There’s a tight, cohesiveness to their music that’d make one think they’d be seasoned vets, and not on their first album. 9 tracks of early '80s heavy metal worship, 'Tough Love' seems to be dipping their toes into the NWOBHM more so than the American scene of the early '80s.

Medieval Steel - Blood Moon

 

Genre: Heavy/Power
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2024

1. Death Neves Dies
2. War Cry
3. Pain Maker
4. Eye Of The Raven
5. Viking Wishing Well
6. Sword Of The King
7. Death Or Victory
8. Blood Moon
9. Eternal Enemy
10. Into The Madness

3rd album by Medieval Steel. The band sounds sharp and tight, vocalist Bobby Franklin can still get it done, and that classic US metal sound is solidly in place. That said, the songwriting is weaker this time out, with more repetition and vocal lines that are not as good to start with and don't benefit from being repeated too many times. This is not a bad album, but it can't match what this band has done before.

Captain Hawk - Ghosts Of The Sea

Genre: Folk/Power
Country: Greece
Year: 2024

1. Northern Winds

4. The Crone
5. Get The Pistol!
6. Ghosts Of The Sea
7. Father
8. Diamonds, Emeralds & Rubies
9. Daughters Of The Ocean
10. Coming Home

Debut album by Captain Hawk, a project by Bob Katsionis (Outloud, ex-Firewind, etc.) and Elina Egglezou (Goditha). It’s very much the kind of album, a rock opera, that works best when treated as a whole, and with lyrics on hand, as the story and vocal performances (7 different vocalists) are the highlights, followed closely by the folk and symphonic elements, while the metal portions are well done.

9. Lying Motherfucka
10. Drug Lords
11. World War
12. Mic Contract

6th album by Body Count. It took Body Count a while to finish 'Merciless', but the result is worth the effort as we can expect a typical Body Count album. The fusion of rap and metal, hardcore and punk is the musical melting pot that makes Body Count’s music stand out.

6. Seasons Of Foul Harvest
7. We Die In Dust
8. The Harem Conspiracy

10. Ride Of The Ironfox

4th album by Bewitcher. If you are looking for an album full of solid riffs with a killer oldschool black/speed metal performance, then look no further than Bewitcher’s brand-new album 'Spell Shock'. It’s a great testosterone driven experience that will satisfy anyone who is heavily into bands like Speedwolf, Midnight, Hellripper, Wraith, Bütcher, etc.

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.

5-track 'Ep by Assassin. They deliver classical thrash metal at a high quality. 'Skullblast' has everything one would expect from a thrash metal release: pace, aggression, tight riffing, and cool lead guitar solos.

2nd album by Yoth Iria. It is a remarkably memorable album, full of songs with soulful guitar moments and aching, crystalizing beauty, like a gently forming frost. They are are making black metal for a modern world, one with a sense of scale and grandeur but never stepping back from intensity and darkness.

4th album by Wraith. It is a very fun and enjoyable album all the way through, constantly delivering headbanging tunes and still staying rotten to the core with its power and pain. The final result is a very solid and kickass 45-minute release by a band such as Wraith, that knows how to do things around here, without any pretentiousness or display of lackluster nature.

5. Blood Legacy
6. Divine Damnation
7. Iron Wisdom
8. Beyond The Vortex
9. Fade To Flames

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.
