I got the vinyl today. It’s a fuckin masterpiece. Something that dwells between Meshuggah and Pink Floyd. Definitely not thrash metal anymore. Very grown up.

Thanks for your elaborate reply. I will check out the bands you mentioned.

I like Hatekeeper and The Comeback

This motif was my back patch back in the days. 😀

They are still good when live. If anyone likes to see, here is a small glimpse from summer 24 https://share.icloud.com/photos/005z1bHmMNtXjCVUyNlV2ZsAQ

Yeah, it’s a pity. I read that Mille wants to honour his Heavy Metal roots. For me I can say that it just doesn’t work. Especially when it comes to the singalong parts, we are all united and so on.

I have read that Kreator “borrowed” their guitar cables when they went on tour. 😄

The raw power in those days was and is incredible. Thanks for the reminder.

Memoriam helps to miss Bolt Thrower not so much.

Well… 32 years is a damned long time. I think the part at 3:10 is typical Thommy Vetterli. The rest is really different to the legacy material. Let’s see when there are more songs to hear. I am pumped anyway, LOL

Just pre-ordered the vinyl.

Let’s hope they can make a comeback as strong as Exhorder did.

I found them very cool and interesting when they came out with this. They couldn’t nail it to 100% but the approach was very original.

If you are into CDs or vinyl, you can still get them (vinyl would be used of course). And you can buy the album on Bandcamp for 8€ I think.

Don’t know whether they are on any other streaming platform, I only use tidal and sometimes Bandcamp.

Yeah, the singer really does the trick IMO.

I missed their last concert (support gig for Tankard), but my wife was there and she enjoyed it.

That’s a fantastic track, too. I like the more brutal approach they used on this album in comparison to let’s say “Great is our sin”.

My brain keeps adding vocals 😆

Great Band

Glad you like it!

Interesting idea. I don’t know of a purely instrumental thrash band yet.

Exactly. Let’s hope for a tearful reunion. 😆
