Evil Brain Taste crushes society's insanity with riff smasher

I think today's society suffers of it's complete overload in everything. There's so many things expecting us to click everywhere that we nearly forget what really counts.

Evil Brain Taste performing the newest single "Artithmophobia".

UK based thrashers Evil Brain Taste have brought this subject on point for me. The "Arithmophobia" video shows how much this civilisation has been downgraded that it's near to pure madness. Visualised with few elements everyone quickly knows that humanity needs to change.

The music side of the single presents a blasting riff monster that relentlessly pushes on forwards. It's labeled deathmetal by the band but feels more like a mixture of death and thrash metal elements to me. Various sections put itself into the mind of the listener and give it a positive push-up. Blasting vocals are raw and remind me a bit of Mille Petrozza of Kreator.

It's a taste of the album to come that is set for release in early 2023. Keep your ears and eyes open for twelve tracks of deathmetal fun shortly entitled "Number Two".

Just follow Evil Brain Taste through Bandcamp, Facebook or Instagram and share the video with your friends to help it spread all around.

Demo CD Review: Zubzero - Lost Sun (Thrash, 2022)

The flame has started to burn. As the cover already tells you this trash-filled silver disc spreads a lot of raw heat and melting metal.

The CD comes housed in a cardboard sleeve. The appeareance spreads warmth but also danger from all the splitter and flames spreading all around.

I love cardboard CDs like this one by zubzero.

I've carefully put the disc into my player and the display told me two tracks waited for me. What came out of the speakers? Track one "Lost" starts straight away wasting no time. The vocals and music present itself on midtempo pattern and with classic riffing.

The fine thing is that also it's a DIY demo the sound is professionell polished and great to enjoy. Vocals are rough and speaking of a traditional tone with song structures kept clear. But at times the riff is changed for variations yet this happens not too often. But when it does the ride becomes hefty and wild so the song shows a different face. 

"Liquid Sun" is different straight from the start. It comes with more push and drive. The sound changes into a faster tone and keeps morphing the longer the song lasts. Few elements of progressive thrash shine through on this track. A solo fast and hard ends the music as quickly as it came.

Order a physical copy through the webshop of Big Bad Wolf Records and support the further development of a brand new band. I think it's a good pick for tradtional likers of the thrash genre.

You can follow "Zub Zero" on Facebook to see the next steps - for instance the upcoming gig with stoners Pander and Grinner (Alternative Hard R&R) on 3rd of December 2022 in Leeuwarden (Netherlands).
