Today’s review is of German Thrash Metal band Tormentor’s upcoming new EP, out on November 12th.
While the Kreator worship is still clearly apparent, especially in the Petrozza-like vocal performance, this EP shows a more modern approach with some slight experimentation with slower parts and greater technique, though the old-school undertone is still there in all moments.
Mixing the fast-paced Teutonic aggression with elements of the new wave of Thrash Metal, the release displays musical maturity, though some diehard fans may not fully enjoy the slight turn in their direction. Nonetheless, tracks such as the title track still have a classic Teutonic Thrash Metal approach mixed with epic layers that may remind of 90s Kreator while “The Burden And The Grief” takes a more ominous twist in the likes of Venom’s “Warhead” or “Manitou” combined with their own style, producing a really long closer to send shivers down your spine.
I recommend this album to fans of Thrash Metal. My rating is of 8/10.
