If you can put up with the generic shouty vocal blasts then I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll find great reward in this violent thrash EP. The band behind such a hostile outburst is Technophobia, a young quartet from Bydgoszcz in Poland.<\/p>\n

Anti-Human Terror<\/em> is equipped with four short tracks with a total duration of 11 minutes so you\u2019ll need to give this a few spins. It\u2019s very much streetwise thrash whereby the music is more entertaining than the vocals; this is due to some of the interesting and tight deviations of melody as evidenced on the rowdy opening title track. It\u2019s a shame then that front throat Ozrata Masakrovich is just a one dimensional ranter, the sort of common ground vocalist for a whole host of same sounding thrash acts. He is extremely confrontational; not in a cool, dominant way but in an annoying hardcore barking fashion of fury.<\/p>\n

Vocals aside, tracks like \u2018Pandemic Fear\u2019 and \u2018Red Heaven\u2019 boast a punky attitude propelled by the percussive fury of Piotr Rumi\u0144ski. As I said before, this is a tight little EP delivered with a scathing pace and frenetic energy culminating with the crunchy \u2018No Solution\u2019. I still think this will appeal to a lot of thrashers who like their metal angry, robust and riotous and maybe I\u2019m being a bit harsh regarding the vocal shouts, so give it a try and you be the judge.<\/p>\n
