Kraken - Tales Of Terror (2021)


This is their first full lenght that Kraken from Peru released. And fuck, did they manage to do a good job of it or what? - the riffs are as good, if not better than their previous EP, especially on the first song, "Diablo". That song is a perfect example of massively riff-oriented thrash: insane riffs and brutal tempo changes. It feels like you're crushing posers. The searing guitar tone is raw as fuck but at the same time, avoids sounding like a chaotic wall of sound where you're barely able to differentiate between the notes.. No worries of that happening here. In terms of sheer riff-craft and songwriting, this album arguably manages to surpass some current thrash bands, but in terms of sheer viciousness and obliterating intensity, this album sends most of them right to the bottom of the totem pole. Okay maybe that was a bit of an exaggeration, but surely you get the drift. The final verdict? THRASH TILL DEATH!! Recommended, Go and get it !!
