Vicious thrash that's also catchy and concise. Not sure whether this fits in the "revival" movement or not, but it's top of the heap for the genre post-millennium. Essential.
Favorite track: Evil Army.

A lot of newer thrash is missing the violence and contempt that defined the genre classics, imo. Not this! Unhinged, evil crossover thrash and it fucking rules 🤘
Favorite track: Severe Mental Disorder.

about
Evil Army’s self-titled full-length is a masterclass in no-nonsense thrash—fueled by punk energy, drenched in street grit, and built on a foundation of raw aggression. Hailing from Memphis, these guys aren't here to charm the scene or ride a revival wave—they are the revival. Thirteen tracks, twenty-five minutes, zero filler. This is the kind of record that doesn’t ask for your attention—it demands it.
What sets Evil Army apart is its complete lack of pretension. There’s no attempt at being slick or modern—just fast, nasty, and tight songwriting straight out of the school of early Metallica, Slayer, and D.R.I. From the opening moments of the title track, it’s a high-speed barrage of whiplash riffs, frenzied solos, and barked vocals that split the difference between thrash and hardcore. The band’s DIY roots and youthful venom shine through with every snare hit and gang chorus.
Tracks like “Edge of Destruction,” “Conquer Human Life,” and “Wrong Approach” are relentless—short, sharp shocks that feel like Molotovs hurled through a window of overproduced modern metal. The guitar tone is trebly and serrated, the drums organic and pounding, and Rob Evil’s vocals have that unhinged street snarl that cuts through everything like a boxcutter.
This isn’t music for genre tourists or nostalgia chasers. Evil Army captures the spirit of real underground thrash—raw, fast, and armed to the teeth. A vital reminder that sometimes, the most powerful statements are the most stripped down. No gimmicks. No gloss. Just pure, unfiltered metal fury. Essential listening for anyone who believes thrash should hurt a little.

by BONEHUNTERApocalyptic thrash? Check. Fist-pumping hooks? Check. Unquestionable evil? Check. The Norwegians' ferocious new album has it all.

The band's debut is full of whiskey-burned growls and maniacal high shrieks, not surprising for a group of Detroit metal vets.

Truly groundbreaking sh*t. Time Ghoul paved the way for a generation of sci-fi focused death metal. It's criminal that we never got a proper full length, but honestly, for all that the production here is a little scruffy, if you reel the treble in a little bit the sound is suprisingly servicable.
