This release from Athens, Greece-based Slaughtered Priest couldn\u2019t be more metal with its cover artwork and album title. Recorded between 2019 and 2022, Bang Your Head For Satan<\/em> is a volatile offering from an artist that\u2019s been toiling away since 2007. This is the band\u2019s sixth full-length outing and one which comes equipped with a whole host of satanic blasts, blasphemous raps and seething energy.<\/p>\n

Slaughtered Priest have always been rather bewitching with their cacophony, and that continues here with the opening track \u2018Torment The Chapel\u2019 with its fizzing axe work and eerie female narration. If you\u2019re not familiar with Slaughtered Priest then expect an assault so spiky and raw where vocals are spat out with such a venomous rasp and the sound in general is a horrifying primeval mesh of speed metal and black metal.<\/p>\n

\u2018Symbol Of Lies\u2019, \u2018Rites Of Schizophrenia\u2019, \u2018Back To Hades\u2019 and my favourite track \u2018Unholy Command\u2019 all boast a zipping aggression that harkens back to the vicious South American scene and those hideous, first waves of pitch black metal via Bathory and the more modern snaps of, say, Witchtrap (Colombia).<\/p>\n

Vile, nasty and as sharp as a whip, Slaughtered Priest continue their black parade of blasphemy like an unholy alliance ploughing its way through a church congregation. Suitably wicked and sniping, this is another winner from the devilish cult.<\/p>\n
