Well, I guess it's time for a decent slab of old school blackened thrash metal. Widower, a trio from Austin, Texas (US), has been around since 2011,and was formed only to worship the ancient ways of black and thrash metal. With violent, aggressive and grinding metal, these guys seemingly breathe new life into the genre. In fact, it's been awhile since a black metal band reminded me of acts like Sodom.
I really dig this sound, immediately bringing me back to those obscure compilations from underground black metal labels. The vintage, cold atmosphere and in-your-face style fascinated me back then and apparently it still does. With blistering speed, driving on almost constantly rolling bass-drums and fierce riffs, Widower shows that this version of the genre is still going strong, which obviously is a good thing.
From opener 'Morose Delectation ', over my favorite track, 'Unholy Force', to the brutal closer 'Whore Crusher', these are stunning old school thrash songs which have the power to please countless of black and thrash metal fans. Expect screams, flashing solos, a murderous tempo and a throat-snapping intensity. No wonder this ep comes highly recommended for fans of everything from Venom over Slayer to Destroyer 666 and Absu.
All Hail Widower!!!
