Starting things of with a bang (or in actuality, a demonic belch) Omission sets the pace for Thrash Metal Is Violence with scorching blackened thrash from beginning to end. No mercy is shown for those who like a break to catch they breath! “Fuck you poser!” screams Omission as they collectively sodomize your wishes for respite with razor sharp thrash metal riffs and wicked screams of malevolent ministry!

“Combining evil and thrash has been done to death! How can something so blasé be so cool?” you ask. The answer is simple: Omission does what they do with a purity you can only really find in the granddaddies of this genre (or thrash in general). They have a drive for glory and lust for metal that is admirable to all. Don’t deny this fact, or you’ll be missing out BIG TIME!

Overall: What Omission brings to the table with Thrash Metal Is Violence is… well, violent blackened thrash metal in the vein of Sodom covering Venom with Destruction playing in the background. Only in this case, Sodom, Venom and Destruction aren’t needed to make this band relevant. Omission fucking owns!

Since I am admittedly a HUGE fan of the blackened thrash outfit known as Nuclear Wasteland, I had pretty fucking high expectations for Sacrifice Of The Blessed. And not surprisingly at all, these post-Apocalyptic thrashers from Thrashcouver, Moshington did not disappoint.

Sacrifice Of The Blessed is a four song demo that takes you on a turbulent ride through the harshest of the fallout saturated lands on the back of a berserk, irradiated timber wolf! Bands like Kreator and Toxic Holocaust immediately come to mind while listening to Here Come The Bombs or The Peacekeeper, but Nuclear Wasteland appear to keep some originality intact with Bastion Of Sin. The production value is a bit of a gripe. Sure it’s loads better than on their first demo, but it would sound soooo much better if they up it only slightly! Vocally, we are reminded of blackened thrash shrieks tied to the fin of a Fat Boy and backed up well with a six sting Riff-O-Matic of Mike Sifringer-like proportions!

Overall: The grim production of this demo makes Sacrifice Of The Blessed feel more black metal than thrash at times, but if you can see (or hear) past the viciously charred veil, you’re treated to a thrashing of a lifetime!
