Who needs an intro to a song when the song is this damn good. Those drums are absolutely crushing, I think I would die if I tried to play even 5 seconds of the drum line. Loving it!! The guitar works

Hedon – Annihilation
This particular song is one of those that is a bit out of my comfort zone, so it’s really fun to review. I don’t listen to a lot of thrashy, growly tracks so I always welcome the opportunity to listen to new songs when I can. I think this is a pretty awesome jam. The dirty vocals are really dark and evil sounding with some amazingly fast lyrical runs. There are also some areas with clean style vocals. Let’s talk about the musical composition for a minute. I love the way it has some swells and falls. I think it makes for a much more interesting piece of music. The guitar work is pretty furious with a lot of killer riffs. The drum work is top notch and keeps a heavy ass pace for the rest of the players to follow.
When it comes to exploring new styles of music it’s all too easy to end up hearing bad bands and thinking the genre sucks. Luckily for me doing these reviews I’m in a position where I can can’t take that stand. Hedon’s song is really well done. I like all the elements individually and as a whole. Honestly I would really like to hear more of their work. As to this particular song I would love to have a copy of it to play on the radio show.
Who They Are:
An awesome thrash band based out of Issaquah, WA, Hedon has played with the likes of Havok (twice), Finntroll, Blackguard, M
etsatoll, DI, Destruction,
Ignotus Enthropya – Solid Silver
Awesome thrash music with seriously guttural growling! The music alone is enough to send any thrash metal enthusiast into a music coma, but when you add that vocal track its thrashy bliss! The guitar work is blistering with some amazing riffs worthy of breaking out your air guitar. There is a lot of movement during the course of the song. While I would label it an upbeat tempo it has moments where it slows down but that drum stays heavy and strong the whole time.
Oh I fully intend to have this band on my upcoming radio show, on my server and in my phone. That guitar solo if straight on amaze balls! It gets me pumped up for the day without breaking a sweat. I gotta say I loved every thing about this song and for thrash aficionados I bring you a gift from the gods.
Who They Are:
The band was formed in July 2009 by guitarist Christian Alexander Oppitz and bassist Balázs Molnár (ex-Twister, Rektális Szerzetesrend), who met through the latter’s ad for additional musicians for his new project. The initial musical vision was inspired by melodic death and progressive metal, with complex song structures, technical guitar solos, and athmospheric keyboard groundwork combined with harsh vocals.
After the first few jams and an enduring search for members to complete the line-up, the core of the band came into form with the addition of drummer Turcsák “Turi” Bence (Ex-Limb for a Limb, Kill With Hate), second guitarist Ádám Gerhes and keyboardist Bálint Kemény (Ex-Niburta, Númenor, Elanor). Songwriting commenced for the first instrumental demo shortly after, to promote the new band and to find a suitable vocalist.
Dávid Gazdag (Ex-Singara) was found eventually as the group’s singer in 2011, and preparations began to perform live as well. Ignotus Enthropya’s stage debut happened in april 2012, and the band did a few shows throughout the year, however, by the beginning of 2013 they were without a frontman once again. The vacant position was later filled by Turi’s friend and former bandmate Zsolt Lédeczi (Effrontery, Teurgia, Deathstruck), and work began on the first official release.
After months of silence, the band finally returned to stage in March 2014, and in September, the debut 4-track EP, entitled “Solid Silver” was also released. By that time, Bálint Kemény has left the band and was replaced by Mátyás Martinka. Ignotus Enthropya is now stronger than ever and eager to promote their music worldwide in every possible way!
The Band is:
Christian Alexander Oppitz
Balázs Molnár
Turcsák “Turi” Bence

Krudo – Option Is Destruction
Full speed ahead! Another lucky find for me, as this has excellent percussion and some of the best guitar work I’ve heard in a while. Also, thanks for giving me some moments where I can hear the bass line. The screaming vocals are really nice, I can understand what they are saying so it’s not guttural screaming. Oh, and there is an excellent 80’s metal scream in the mix as well. The guitar is blazing fast with some impressive fret work. I like that there are some darker riffs mixed with some just out right fast ones then for fun we have that solo. Great slide work and he is making that instrument sing for real. The drum stays tight to the guitar helping keep that blistering pace alive and kicking. Combined with that vocal style this songs is an all-around winner.
Wild horses couldn’t keep me from downloading this song to my phone and my server. The men in my house are going to go nuts when they hear it. Reminds me a lot of some old Slayer and Testament that my hubby plays. You are going to want to keep this paired with other fast and heavy songs in order to keep that energy flowing.

Scream Blue Murder – What Goes Around Comes Around
OH hells yeah, this is what I needed right now. Thundering drums, completely ass kicking guitars and some vocals I can’t even understand! The vocalist has an amazing range that he exercises here, going from what sounds like the higher end of his register to a deep tone with the growling. This is what metal is all about. I’m so grooving on those screaming vocals. This is another one of those tracks where I can’t tell you about the lyrics but that’s ok. In a song like this I tend to think of the vocals as another instrument. The pacing on this track is really uptempo with some unrelenting drum work. The guitarist is also getting one hell of a work out. There is a small piano interlude in the middle of the songs that is quite perfect for the jam.
Would I Listen to More of Their Stuff: Yes. If this metal masterpiece doesn’t get your ass up and moving you better check your pulse. I would recommend putting this on a playlist with bands like Slayer.

Oracle – Gamechanger
Who They Are: Oracle are melodic hardcore quintet based in Northampton, UK. Comprised of drummer Benjamin Williams, guitarists Jack Aaron & Kiza Collard, bassist Sam Maclean and headed up by frontman and lead vocalist Ashyy Fenlon. The band since their start in 2012 have built on and solidified their place within the local talented music scene. After sharing the stage with a host of high quality bands and writing new material, Oracle are gearing up to show their full potential in coming months.
Why I Like Them: So here we have the illegitimate child of Static X and Sepultura. This song has a truly breakneck speed with some thundering double bass through the majority of the song. The vocals were incredible. But then I have a lot of respect for singers that can get all growly/screaming with it. Of the thrash bands I’ve listened to the subtle break in the speed is an anomaly. I can’t say that I didn’t like it, cause I did. I found it to be an interesting twist to thrash music. I would just like to know if you get a free lifetime supply of throat lozenges when you start doing that rad ass screamy/growly thing.

Imminent Riot – Fuck Off and Die
Who They Are: Imminent Riot is a 4 piece punk band from St. Petersburg, FL. They play riff-based hardcore punk with a little thrash thrown in for good measure.
Why I Like Them: Umm.. cause this some totally off the hook old school punk man! The disjointed rhythms and the pacing on the vocals. I’m feeling a total Dead Kennedy’s thing here. It has the right amount of attitude and almost dirty production feel. I’ve always had a hard time with trying to describe good punk music, so my best advice is to listen yourself and the love it.
Would I Listen to More of Their Stuff: Oh God yes. I love old school punk so this already has a place on multiple playlists.
The Band is:
Guitar & Vocals: Patrick Box
Lead Guitar: Brad Wolf
Bass: Paul Swomley
Drums: Cory Smoke
