Having taken their name from Death Angel’s debut “The Ultra-Violence, this newcomer band from Italy consists of young guys that worship the 80s thrash metal scene. At first, I thought that here we are with another band trying to “copy-paste” the 80s formula, as most bands of this new thrash metal movement of our time. After some careful listens I grasped that although these guys are on their early twenties, they have learned their lesson well and they are here to express themselves and present their own musical perspective.
Outrageous guitar shredder, big time wrestler, sometimes member of THE MENTORS, and all-around lunatic GENERAL BASTARD has announced the commencement of a multi-front assault on the American psyche, including the July 15th release for new album entitled "Revolution Rock".
"We have really cool deals going on for our friends who want to order the new album including getting personal guitar lessons from General Bastard himself, not to mention most packages call for getting your name included in the albums liner notes for being a loyal friend", says The General.
Swedish visionary metallers SOILWORK have announced the first dates of the upcoming “The European Infinity Tour” in support of the band's most recent album “The Living Infinite”. Additional tour and festival dates will be announced later.
Sodom is, without any doubt, one of the top thrash metal bands of Europe. Along with Kreator, Destruction, Sabbat, Tankard and some others that I can’t remember now, they have delivered some truly great and influential albums to the thrash metal scene globally. Venom could easily have been in the category above but they also influenced black metal later and that’s a whole different story. Surely, their early “thrash metal” played a major role to the thrash metal movement as well.

The album gives a nod to the old school by combining aggressive, commanding vocals with dual guitars and a thundering bottom end.

Just imagine for a while… that this very young Finnish heavy/thrash metal band wasn’t on Nuclear Blast. Who would have been aware of them and who would spend their time dealing with them no more than they deserve to? The answer is very easy huh?!
Lost Society belong to the NWOTM movement of our time and they do suffer from the same “childhood diseases” as all of those new thrash band. Well, I think that the younger the band is the worse the case is but what the heck!
