Thrashers rejoice! Today we’re pleased as fuck to present to you the new EP from the current kings of thrash, Chile’s riff vortex known as Ripper<\/strong>. Sensory Stagnation<\/em> is the first material from the band since their universally lauded space-time warping shred-fest Experiment Of Existence<\/em><\/a>. While it may have been unfair for us to collectively put so much hype and pressure on a young band delivering a follow-up to to just their second album, it is with great pleasure that I can announce they have delivered on Sensory Stagnation<\/em>, and not just in the way you may have expected.<\/p>\n

The first thing you’ll probably notice is Ripper’s slight shift forward from schizophrenic Sepultura<\/strong><\/a> thrash towards an atypical mixture merging Sadus<\/strong>-style shred and a more deliberate early 90’s Death<\/strong> metal sound. While the overt South American insanity still prevails, the 5 tracks are imbued with some more controlled direction and attention to technicality (\u00e0 la<\/em> Atheist<\/strong>). The bass presence is even stronger than previous efforts, with the serpentine fretplay evoking the quasi-lead work of a master such as Steve Di Giorgio<\/a> himself. The resultant effect is immense. Ripper’s sinister sci-fi themes are perfectly suited to the increased compositional focus; like several photon beams being lensed towards a single point, their sound is now perhaps more devastating than ever. We mentioned how Unspeakable Axe<\/strong><\/a> could essentially rebrand as “Unbeatable Thrash” this year when we covered the first pre-release track a couple of months ago on the Riff-Raff Podcast<\/a><\/strong>, however if for some reason you’re a freak who is somehow undecided as to whether or not you’re into Ripper, I urge you to listen to the title track from this EP. You will not be disappointed.<\/p>\n
