With their fourth full-length assault since forming in 2012, Spanish thrashers Injector treat us once again with some excellent sci-fi artwork. Based around the Borderlands<\/em> video game series, Injector\u2019s albums have made for quite an interesting listen over the years and Endless Scorn<\/em> is another solid entry to the band\u2019s catalogue.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve experienced any of Injector\u2019s previous outings \u2013 Black Genesis<\/em> (2015), Stone Prevails<\/em> (2018) and Hunt Of The Rawhead<\/em> (2020) \u2013 then you\u2019ll know what to expect. Even with a new drummer on board (Juanjo Beast) Injector stick to their raging serious thrash assault, churning out grey metallic slabs embedded very much in the modern Teutonic era via the bruising tremors of Destruction<\/a> and a more refined and contemporary Bay Area tumult.<\/p>\n

Considering how the band focuses on their striking cover art, Injector serves up quite colourless thrash in contrast. Even so, there\u2019s a lot of brutality here, particularly with the monstrous \u2018Path Of The Wrathgod\u2019 where the vocals of guitarist Dani MVN shift between snaps, guttural bellows and melodic harmonies, especially on the chorus. Like most of the tracks though, \u2018Path Of The Wrathgod\u2019 is quite the aggressive experience built upon a foundation of strong, punchy bass and hefty, hyper riffs. Hints of latter day Testament creep in as the mechanics drive like great glistening pistons of power.<\/p>\n

Admittedly, I\u2019m left cold by some of the belligerent grooves here but there’s no doubting the potency as a majority of songs prove to be a more refined yet colourless mix of Overkill, Pantera, Metal Church and Annihilator. Subtlety does emerge, more so with instrumental \u2018The End Of Eternity\u2019 and \u2018The Executioner\u2019s Song\u2019, although the metallic barrages follow close behind. \u2018Mindcrusher\u2019 is standard fare, but then again I wouldn\u2019t expect anything else from a song with such a title. \u2018Never Enter The Core\u2019 boasts some serious shredded axe work and \u2018Warning Blast\u2019 jars the spine with its shuddering bass and battering percussion.<\/p>\n

Hard boiled thrash to the hilt, Endless Scorn<\/em> is most definitely the strongest Injector opus to date; a precise and formidable bone scraping slab of cold steel that refuses to have fun.<\/p>\n
