There are several bands with this moniker but this Austrian bunch of moshers is a new act when it comes to released material, although they\u2019ve been around since 2014. The goofy cover art is a dead giveaway with this EP; it screams thrash through and through and for 25 minutes you may \u2013 or may not \u2013 be enthralled by what is essentially standard yet energetic thrash for the pit.<\/p>\n

What I do like more than anything with this seven-track affair is the sneering vocal attack from Johannes Beerb\u00f6mber who has a rather grizzly, snarling attack which adds extra hostility and beef to proceedings. I\u2019m even more thankful for the vocal gnashes because the music to accompany it is rather tepid, but that\u2019s probably down to the production.<\/p>\n

With a release like this I expect rather cutting riffage, speedy snaking leads, ferocious percussion and a babbling bass attack, but everything around Johannes feels and sounds lukewarm. This is a real shame because with extra bite these songs would make quite an impact, especially \u2018The Laughing Skull\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u20189.2.5.\u2019 channels a sort of Nuclear Assault flavour; it\u2019s a speedy albeit brief expression of haste. Meanwhile, the gang chants on \u2018Demolition Death\u2019 are pretty much standard content for the glut of generic thrash acts doing the rounds. However, there is much to savour here, particularly the rampant \u2018Gravemaster\u2019 and the galloping blasts of \u2018Slaughter The Innocent\u2019.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s certainly work to be done here because as it stands Nuke do not seem convincing enough and with such apparent flaws Nuke \u2019Em All<\/em> doesn\u2019t live up to its title, but it remains an enjoyable thrash romp nonetheless.<\/p>\n
