The Sheep Destroyer Crew - Fury
This band has a very interesting , humorous name and a bad ass logo so i had to check it out. I was not disappointed. The main riff to this song is fantastic and continues to merge into more and more impressive texture and mood changes. Vocalist did a good job of expressing emotion , matching the relatable lyrics. The lyric video is well made and compliments the destructive vibes this track offers. this just has a classic heavy metal feel to it that i think a lot of people would enjoy.
Killers Legion - Ad Infinitum
There is an explosive album out by Killers Legion. UK based thrash band delivered hard here. The intro lets you know instrumentally this album is going to be nasty in the best way. the bass is super chunky , riffs have a real classic thrash quality that I am a sucker for. The solo in the first song lets me know this whole album is going to be enjoyable if the vibe stays similar to the opening track. The vocals here are simple and dynamic in classic thrash fashion. not too little or too much. Lyrically there is a lot of ancient and bible like storytelling going on here which I think is another element this album brings to suck you in for the ride.
Driven By Fire - Phoenix Fire
Right off the bat I can notice the production quality here is super solid. The song is super upbeat and just fun, bringing an epic soundscape to the forefront that would be a good song to have playing in the background while you are getting work done. It will pump you up! I would definitely say the lyrics follow up on the epic vibe of instrumental. Vocally the song is very solid , no complaints there. Tons of elements of classic metal and thrash metal. All I can really say definitively is this song is FUN.
Mortem Obscuram - The Glass Kingdom
This is right up my alley in every way possible. This song is an attack on the eardrums. I recommend playing this one very loudly. This is one of those songs that just from the artwork alone you can tell its going to blow your head off. Absolutely killer art. You cant go wrong with high bpm , chunky ass riffs , and greatly textured screams. The use of synths and angelic sounding choir vocals just puts this one on another level for me. There is some noises in the background here that sound similar to a Glockenspiel or something along those lines and it really threw me off at first but I actually really enjoy it on the second listen.
Satias - Bastion
OH , this dissonance right off the bat with this chunky riff is something nasty and flavorful. The texture and effects used on the vocals here are awesome and work really well with this track. This is one of those songs you close your eyes and listen closely because it encapsulates you. Really gloomy sounding guitars and the bass is utilized very smartly and sprinkled in moments where its allowed to shine. Really nice tempo changes allowing each portion of the song to have its own deserved moment.
