Cruel Bomb - Trinity Terror (2020-EP)

When it comes to thrash revival, there have been a lot of amazing new bands that have developed and are playing some really solid old school 80's style thrash, chaotic, spastic, and very punky. So when the occasional new thrash band adds a bit of that groove influence or more of a modern style to the mix, they almost automatically stand out from the pack. This is what makes Cruel Bomb. pop very clearly from the rest of the movement. What makes this new Ep interesting is the combination of chunky riffs and brutal drum patterns with chaotic and thrashy elements, in other words it's a fkn lethal combination. This Ep balances with some very headbangable thrash parts. The impressive production (and very impressive mix and mastering) help bring out both sides of the band. The bass is a prominent feature to their sound and style which is amazing, kick ass riffs, angry vocals and the stellar drumming is flawless. Cruel Bomb is among my favorite new bands from this new thrash movement, and definitely one of the best. The songs are well written and performed in a vicious way.  Young, aggressive and original. They put Thrash metal in the right position of being the heaviest sound on the block, it could sit there forever. Songs to check out: All of them but definitely Atomic Demolition Munition is my favorite. This Ep will crush your fucking skull and Posers will die !!!
