old-school thrash metal

German thrash metal veterans Destruction celebrate their 40th anniversary by setting the world ablaze with a new, hard-hitting grenade in the form of their new album, “Diabolical”, out on April 8th, 2022, via Napalm Records!
 

US Thrashing Death metal combo Murder Van have signed with Wormholedeath Records a licensing deal for their EP “Crooked Smiles”, due for release on December 17th, 2021.

“Crooked Smiles” EP was recorded at West End Sound studio in Atlanta, with legendary engineer/producer Tom Tapley and with production assistance from Bill Kelliher (Mastodon).

Signing statement:

Back in January 2020, Schizophrenia came out of nowhere with their self-released debut EP “Voices” to hit the Extreme Metal underground like a bomb. With a relentless cocktail of high-adrenaline Death Metal and groovy mid-tempo elements, the band took the heavy scene by storm and soon became known for their distinctively heavy yet dynamic sound, bursting with detail and intensity.

Legendary German thrash metal powerhouse Destruction cements its signing with Napalm Records by smashing an all devastating, neck-breaking “Live Attack” onto the masses! The BluRay/CD live event, including some pre- and after-show bonus content, will be released on August 13th, 2021.

It follows their latest record, “Born to Perish” (#26 GER album charts), recalling a nearly two hour live stream attack the heavy steamroller unleashed in January this year.

On July 16th, 2021, Berlin’s Space Chaser will release their new album, “Give Us Life”, via Metal Blade Records.

For a first preview of the record, a video for the new single, “Remnants of Technology” (produced by Lucas Fiederling / Peregrine Films), can be viewed below.

Following yet more official appreciation, as acknowledged by the presentation of the German Record Critics’ Award, for their current album “Genesis XIX” (having garnered the prize once before with its predecessor “Decision Day” in 2016) and prior to their upcoming 40th band anniversary next year, Sodom have rarely been as energetic as in spring 2021. 

Old school thrash metal combo Engraver have signed a deal with Wormholedeath for the release of their EP “Behind”, out on May 28th, 2021, worldwide.

Band comment:
