Cruel Bomb - Manhattan Mischief (EP 2019)

The production on this Ep is absolutely perfect unleashing the monster in terms of brutality. The guitar tone is fkn insane, bass and drumming are fantastic. Brandon snarls his way through in the most inhumane way and the riffs are as heavy as a ton of bricks. Solos really do the job as well. I doubt any thrash fan can be disappointed with this. On a song level, everything rules. This Ep hits you like a brick wall with its inhumane speed and brutality. "Manhattan Mischief" is a incredible lesson in thrash Metal the Cruel Bomb way.The entire fucking Ep is mean and ferocious as hell. It's a face-melter, for sure !!

Father Of Sin - Born Again Satanist (2019)

The new album by Father Of Sin from Pennsylvania is aggressive. When it comes to structure, the guitars are heavy as fuck, the solos are demented. The overall focus in the music is on the interaction between drums and vocals. The drumming attack is done perfectly. The vocals are insane, frequently double-tracked between thrash metal style shout and a half-death growl, and some female choruses as well, delivered with massive speed, spewing ridiculously verbose sets of lyrics over wide verses. These vocals are venomous; the obscure and antisocial lyrics make it even better. You can identify  the attitude and mood that the band expresses. And that is, emotion explored on this release made with absolute rage. I personally think it's great to see a band with one idea, one vision, and carrying it forth so well. Everything's in place on this record, and none of it seems awkward or stilted; it's all been crafted very naturally by people who clearly know how to write music in this style. And it's catchy! All the songs are very good, though some are clearly above others. I can say this is enjoyable. If you like metal in general, play this Cd in your stereo, this is an interested item to pick up whenever you can.
