Richmond, Virginia-based thrashers Murdersome are an interesting beast, so don\u2019t be put off by the generic cover art of this debut full-length. I really thought the relentless vocal snaps would irritate, coupled with the often deathly barks, but this is actually decent, memorable thrash that at times rushes belligerently like Accept on speed!<\/p>\n

These guys fuse hard, metallic chugs with pace but the tracks immediately embed themselves into the brain; \u2018Revel In Darkness\u2019 is an absolute corker with its hostile vocals and wild solos. \u2018Credulous\u2019 and \u2018Smoke And Mirrors\u2019 are as equally volatile, rampaging yet crisp guitar tones and hectic percussion.<\/p>\n

There are occasional drifts towards a crossover slant but everything is kept short and sharp with \u2018Nights Edge\u2019 boasting the most nostalgic themes with its fiery riffs. The brief \u2018No Way Out\u2019, complete with gang chants, and the equally snappy \u2018Housing The Wretched\u2019 epitomize the capabilities of this band \u2013 supercharged and aggressive thrash delivered like a bullet to the skull. Yes, there are moments of predictability, but it\u2019s all over so quick that you don\u2019t get a chance to not comply with its raging.<\/p>\n
