Come get a taste of chilled Chilean prog thrash.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Just a few weeks ago my “For You” tab on Bandcamp told me that Critical Defiance, one of Chile’s finest thrash bands, had a new album coming out soon. I listened to approximately 15 seconds of lead single “44 Minds”, immediately stabbed “pre-order now” on that motherfucker, and used “.44 Minds” as the closer on an episode of Toilet Radio<\/a>. Little did I know that Unspeakable Axe, one of my favorite metal labels on Earth, would send over the full album just days later. Folks… it’s good. Why, it’s Branson<\/em> Good. “Helpless World” is an appropriate sample of what awaits you on the full-length album. You’ll get some all-out, breakneck thrash that threatens to come clattering apart at any moment but you’ll also get melodic sequences that branch off and sidequest before bringing the whole thing home for a leveled-up onslaught. But don’t just take my word for it, take a listen right now:<\/p>\n
