The band\u2019s moniker pretty much tells you what you\u2019re going to get here; blasphemous Brazilian black thrash. Inferno<\/em> is an organic debut full-length opus from Speedkiller who formed in 2018 and after just one listen you\u2019ll find yourself dragged into the depths of the South American extreme metal underground.<\/p>\n

The echo on the vocal barks add an extra eerie dimension to what is already a raw and primordial cacophony. Best experienced through headphones, Inferno<\/em> reels of damp thuds but above all a black stinking speed that drips with a black metal first wave menace alongside the savage approach of early Sepultura and Mutilator. Although this is a fast, primordial and deadly record it resonates with an impending doom as each chord reaches into the cavernous gloom of its own instrumental morbidity.<\/p>\n

Admiration, however, most go to the melodious streaks on the album, particularly with a song like \u2018Blood Worship\u2019 which is dark more rhythmic compared to, say, \u2018The Birth Of The Immortal Evil\u2019, which kicks the album off but has a far hastier premise. \u2018Blair\u2019 is another favourite and initially veers towards a death metal chug, while sandwiched at the heart of the album is the scathing \u2018Evil\u2019 and the rapid epic that is the title track. There is plenty of old Sodom and Kreator on board too in those feral snaps, especially on those classic black speed outbursts like \u2018Invoke The Lord\u2019. Inferno<\/em> is a fiendishly cool release.<\/p>\n
