Havok-Time Is Up



I've been waiting since Burn for Havok to release a new album, and let me tell you I think it was well worth the wait. The pure awesomeness that spews out of every song is enough for you to headbang yourself into a coma!!! Not to mention a little something extra for everyone who downloads it off Itunes. A cover of Slayer's Postmortem/Raining Blood what the fuck more can you ask for?!?!?!

Gama Bomb!!!



One of my favorite bands of the NWOTM. Generic yes, but you cannot deny the vocals of Philly Byrne. I mostly believe it's the Irish connection that brought me to them, but the music goes far beyond that. Saw them live with Bonded By Blood, Evile(more great NWOTM bands) Forbidden, and Overkill and the show kicked my ass and then some.

Insane-Wait and Pray



Anyone who appreciates Slayer's Show No Mercy needs to check out this band. When someone suggested them to me and said it sounds like an extended version of Show No Mercy all I could do is laugh and say fuck you to them because how could you compare and unknown thrash band from Italy to SLAYER?!?! Well I'm not saying they are anywhere close to Slayer, but I do have to say you can hear the effect Slayer had on them. Hopefully you enjoy.

Epidemic



I've really just started to scratch the surface with this band. Not to be confused with Epidemic from other countries, the US Epidemic is straight up old school Death/Thrash. Two albums that you should definitely check out would be The Truth Of What Will Be and Decameron.

Rampage- The Rampage Begins...







First off I have to give credit to another blog for bringing this band to my attention. Witching Metal's blog is where i found this band. In listening to it you'd be amazed at the sound. Knowing going into listening that they were part of the new wave of thrash I wasn't expecting an 80's thrash sound, but that is exactly what I heard. The minute the bass kicks in you'll know. When you get a chance got to their myspace page and give them a listen.
