The Underground scene is getting stronger right now, with bands such as Ritual Moon and Black knife, focusing more on the blacker, more evil style of the Thrash genre. I can mention influences such as early Bathory and Hellhammer, but also have that bite of hardcore and speed metal in there. Black knife has the first side of the 3-song split, providing us with two songs: "Chaos Reigns" and "Take The Devils hand". These songs are fast, furious onslaughts of thrash, focusing more on speed and aggression rather than long and technical guitar solos. Because of this, it is clear that they enjoy doing this. While thrash metal often feature technical, lengthy guitar solos, Black Knife don't use that many. If you want a technical thrashfest, don't come here. If you want a blackened evil Thrash Metal, this is right up your alley. Is that bad? Hell No. Is that good? Fuck yes. It rips! Ritual Moon completes the split with one song of their own "Mad Lust".This is dark and evil as Black Knife. It sounds like a mixture of black thrash and hardcore. It doesnt let up. This tune is a heavy metal blitzkrieg that reminds the listener of what a true Brutal thrash band sounds like. This is metal ferocity. You might sense that Im getting a bit excited about this Split, but its worth getting excited about. This Split is fkn solid !!
