Violent Legacy - General Genocide (EP 2020)


I’ve noticed this band quite recently, thanks to them for sending this Cassette. It caught my attention and respect. The mix of speed to thrash is perfect. The riffs are definitively more thrash metal, the drumming is really fast, the pissed-off vocals shows influences from the classic bay area. This is just fast and full of riffs. The structures are quite dynamic and always catchy. Once again the biggest influences can come from the Bay Area but also from the barbarism of a band like Kreator and Sodom as well. The speed are out of the blue with all those angry solos. The vocals are always in balance between thrashing tonalities and incredible peaks in brutality, taking form the classic German style. That monster of a mid-paced section in the middle, before restarting with speed and solos, is huge, so prepare to be annihilated by 11 minutes of thrash metal barbarism. It succeeds in being always catchy and violent at the same time. Surely, this release is a must for every thrash metal fan. Riffs that make you want to headbang like crazy, though you'll be headbanging to every song on this album !!
