New Wizard!
Really, really trudgy and foreboding, almost atmospheric. More atmospheric than ever before. Nice in its own way but I'm hoping the rest of the album has a little groove to it.

Hirax might just be right up your alley. Primitive speed/thrash/punk-as-**** metal with a really unique singer.

^ Seconded. Dude sounds like he would make a decent power metal vocalist, well, sort of. I should totally listen to that album again.
It's okay, but not exciting me all that much. Going to give the rest of the album a listen soon.

Hirax actually had a really good reunion album back in '04. Katon's voice hasn't aged all that well (unless he's consciously singing differently), but he still has an energy about him that sells the songs better than dudes half his age. They also have an old school sound that sounds not at all like the post thrash that Exodus and Death Angel are playing these days.
It's listed as "New Age of Terror", but the song is "Kill Switch". Edit: Oh ****, apparently they had an EP out a few years before that. Bigger hardcore punk influence than their full-length reunion album, and just raw as all hell. You just don't hear thrash bands that sound like this anymore (or every to be perfectly honest). Either they sound too polished, too much like Pantera, or too cartoony, but Hirax seem to have ignored everything everyone else was doing.

Found out that they released a new album earlier this year. Gave this song a listen just now, and it's pretty aight.
The production is better than the one on Raging Violence, and to me it sounds like they're a bit better at playing their instruments. EDIT: The title track, "Immortal Legacy", is kind of bitchin'.

I'm not really looking for good production or tight musicianship when I listen to Hirax. I like chaotic noise. They satisfy my love of gloriously ****ty sounding hate music.
