Black Death - Yersinia Pestis Demo

Self-Released

2012

Some guy(s) had the "best" idea ever. Lets start a underground super lo-fi black metal group but put no effort into making anything sound good. Making this release a waste of time for everyone.

at least you can hurt your ears for free

Insanity Alert - First Diagnosis

2012

Self-Released

Back in the late 80s a bunch of bands bridged the gap between thrash metal and Hardcore. You got a fast-paced mix of thrash riffs and hardcore vocals (called Thrashcore). Insanity Alert fits the bill of a typical 80s thrashcore band doing nothing new just playing classic thrashcore. the songs are fast, short, and repetitive. (The 6 tracks total less then 15 mins.) The lyrics are ether about Thrashing around or about some form of stupid death. After the 5 short in your face songs you get to a parody of Iron Maiden's Run to the Hill. I changes it from a song with a point to another song about mindlessly thrashing. It shows the creativity of the band but it really could of used more "intelligent" Lyrics.

All in all this is a great slab of classic style thrashcore. It is great for quick listen of thrash and any fan of thrash metal will enjoy it. I just wish it was a bit longer.

Good songs: Crucified By Zombies, Run To The Pit, Glorious Thrash

Bad song(s): Braincell Massacre (Skip this song)

8/10 Because of how boring Braincell Massacre is. otherwise it is great.

Quick Look: Carnivorous Forest - The Red Demo

2012

Self-Released

Taking some death, Thrash, and folk metal and slamming it into one package. Leads to this album (or close to it). There is a good mix of song tempos and vocal styles. But all in all the way this was recorded kills it.

I really hope at some point this gets a proper recording. For now this will have to do.

ADK - ADK

2012

Thrash Metal / Hardcore band from Brazil formed in 2008.

One of the best up and coming Thrashcore bands. Their sound takes the best parts about thrash and hardcore and slams them together. The first two song are really great simple thrash song. The third song is an above average metal edged punk song. 

Overall it is a nice thrashcore EP that would fit well in any playlist of older bands. The only thing that brings it down is the third song.

8/10 

It is available for free on their bandcamp page http://adkoficial.bandcamp.com/
