Evil - Possessed by Evil (2021)

 This violent Assault from these japanese maniacs mixes perfectly the old school raw thrash metal to the bone.The songs are generally quite short and they point directly to the core of extremism. There’s no melody or will to slow down. We can also find some more canonical examples of speed/thrash metal too in a song like “Yaksa” but the up tempo parts are just blowing for power and intensity. The sounds are quite clear but extremely essential and you can hear the old style production very well. Nothing has been pumped in the studio and the volumes are simply those by the instruments. The band itself has inside an insane load of anger and madness. The tunes sound extremely heavy and twisted especially for the schizophrenic vocals that sometimes reach such a high level of morbidity, especially for the sick screams. Obviously, in an album like this, you must completely forget about technique and precision. There are several imprecise parts but everything is a simple demonstration of anger and impact. The power of the rhythmic guitars is unbelievable and during the palm muting riffage, it’s like being overwhelmed by truck at full speed. You can hear the early Sepultura and Destruction influences, the morbid atmosphere and the sounds are similar, speed and pure anger. This album is intense and violent. True old school thrashers, beware the impact of EVIL!
