Chainbreaker - Relentless Night (2020)

This album is a metalheads dream, loud pounding drums, brutal bass lines, riffs and solos with screeching vocals. It's simple - Chainbreaker just know how to thrash and they get right to the point. No bullshit interludes, no ballads, no intros or outros, no flirting with other genres, nothing. They simply went into the studio and punched out a short, sweet, and to the point album of ballsy, gritty, thrashing insanity without even looking back to make sure they were doing everything perfectly. If you're a fan of metal as I am, then you should be able to easily understand this sort of concept. Standout tracks? The whole album is great as it more or less all sounds the same, being thoroughly consistent all the way through. It will get you headbanging straight away, exactly like any metal album should do. This is the essence of metal, and I can't see why someone who likes thrash metal or heavy metal in general in the slightest would object to this band. The 80s may have been great for metal, but let's not pretend there isn't a ton of high-quality metal around today. Chainbreaker is dirty, thrashy and in-your-face, it's also pretty brilliant!
