Chains Of Belmont - Toxic Hangover (2020)


The riff amount on this release is monstrous. Denim jackets with patches, cool lyrics and ofcourse the kickass thrashing attitude and music – it's all here. From the first second of the first tune intro, one can clearly hear the main influences of this one: Nuclear Assault's Game Over, D.R.I., C.O.C. and the more hardcore influenced material of Suicidal Tendencies, because there are really so much simmilarities on here, also i bit of german thrash influences. Cool guitar tone (crunchy and powerful) makes this release thrashier than it would be with that eighties sound. As I expected, the vocals are not even slightly technical or schooled… AND I LOVE IT! The producer obviously listened to a lot of Overkill records, since the bass is very audible and even though there aren't any technical or hard lines on here it's fun to listen to. The drums are fkn solid. If you want to have fun drinking beer and thrashing outl, while you're searcing a sofa suitable for ''stagediving'' off it, Toxic Hangover is your best friend !!
