This is already the tenth appearance of Awakening Records on my page. Today, we're listening to the first longplayer by Evilcult from Bento Gonçalves, in the South of Brazil. The band was founded in 2016 and has so far released an EP and some singles. Members are Mateus "Blasphemer"  (drums) and Lucas "From Hell"  (bass, guitars, vocals). The music on Evilcult's "At the darkest Night" is a merciless brawl of rough Thrash Metal with plenty of Black Betal impact and a certain influence by Speed Metal. It is ultrafast, absolutely brutal, icecold, blasphemous, and pitch-dark. Or in less words: a fantastic Metal album. While Mateus  is drumming, thrashing and clubbing like a berserker in a clockwork, Lucas  is crea...

Two years afters their first release " In Darkness Act I " Thrash Metal quartet Warrior Within strike back with their second EP "In Light Act II". Founded in the early 90s the band from Sunshine Coast, Queensland went through some changes in their line-up until now being thrashing, hammering and stomping like crazy. The new selfreleased EP is available since 08 February 2020 and comes with four tracks lasting 20:36 minutes. On those tracks the band plays rough and Thrash Metal with rattling sounds, speedy riffing and a roughneck Hardcore attitude. The massive rhythms grind straight forward in an unpolished manner while distorted bass and guitar coarsely push forward and singer shouts and barks with a powerful voice. The Thrash Metal theme is the omnipresent force on this EP. On the track 'Ratrace' Hardcore influence is shining through by the backing vocals and the most melodic song 'The Felling of the Oak' presents the strongest impact by Sp...

Einmal alle anschnallen, bitte! Hier geht's mit Vollgas zur Sache! Die Bamberger Thrash und Speed Metal Punks Hellburst haben eine kleine EP mit drei neuen Knallern beim Oettinger Label 30 Kilo Fieber Records rausgebracht. Erst letztes Jahr haben Hellburst zusammen mit der Würzburger Satanik Speed Metal Band Recrucifixiön eine Split aufgenommen, und jetzt schon der nächste Tonträger in den Startlöchern. Eingehüllt in wunderschönem Artwork von Johannes Stahl  liegt das großartig finstere Stück Vinyl. Die drei Tracks auf "Moribun" wurden letzten Sommer im heimischen Proberaum von Hellburst eingespielt und aufgenommen, und zerstören innerhalb ihrer elf Minuten Spielzeit alles, was ihnen in den Weg kommt. Nach Gnade oder Gefangenen wird hier nicht gefragt. Hellburst spielen auf "Moribund" eiskalten, ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste nach preschenden, tiefschwarzen, und dreckigen, Thrash Metal Punk. Ein Hörgenuss für den ganzen Körper. SSS an der Gitarre und IO ...
