Berlin based Space Chaser are part of the new wave of German thrash bands who hold up the flag. They were founded in 2011.

Fantastic album with a charismatic singer (who left lately, shame). Blitz vibes IMO.

This is razor sharp thrash metal. Especially the first three songs are really worthwhile. The album made it up to rank 24 in the German charts. 🤘🏻

Check out Cryoshock, Remnants of Technology and Juggernaut.

    Really good stuff. The sorta minimalist (idk if this is the best word to describe it) guitar tone kinda works here. Reminds me a bit of a more serious Gama Bomb.

    Woah you have a knack for finding quality thrash acts that I somehow miss xD

    This one’s voice reminds me a shit load of Agent Steel’s vocalist mixed with a pinch of Bruce Dickinson; I’d kill to hear a falsetto wail from Space Chaser’s vocalist lol. The instruments are tight as hell too! Another for the long-ass playlist!

    EDIT: I actually get what I want in their earlier works - on track number one of their Watch the Skies! album, the vocalist sustains the end of a chorus wonderfully!

      Haha, thanks man. Glad you like it!

      Unfortunately the singer has left which actually hurts them. They released a single with the guitarist singing. IMO he can’t keep up.

      But this album is a real breaker.

      Btw. I will check out your older posts as there are bands I don’t know yet. Looking forward to crate digging.

        Haha, cheers. There’s 8 months of daily posts to dig through!

        Shame about the vocalist leaving, I’ll have to check the single just out of curiosity’s sake.

            Nooo where’s the energy?? At least the instruments are still killing it, man…

                Honestly they could go the instrumental only route, which probably isn’t gonna bring em success, but their playing is damn good enough.

                Like these guys are quickly becoming favorites of mine upon going through their older albums. I absolutely love the title track to Watch the Skies! If I were to ever pick up a guitar, it would just be repeating the opening riffs ad infinitum lmao.
