Description
Formed in Sao Paulo in Brazil back in 2018 by the musicians Rhodz and Angelcorpse with the propose to execute killer thrash metal in the veins of 80’s like Exodus, Destruction, Dark Angel, The Mist, and Necronomicon. Their debut album, High Voltage Demons, was released in 2019 and features some snapping Sadus-type of assault fused with a classic Kreator niftiness and dryness. Sadistic Messiah is a lethal yet well-constructed thrash act born in the 80s due to its network of crunchiness and with that underground feel too. There’s nothing glossy or mechanical about High Voltage Demons and it remains savage throughout while never fully wavering from its melodious streaks. You’ll hear a lot of classic Sepultura too as the band drifts into black-thrash dervishes that only the Brazilian scene could master. It’s certainly not original, but the marriage of hostile hooks and devilishly well-structured barrages coupled with the scathing vocal blasts results in an excellent thrash metal workout so demonically blessed that for once there’s an album that gives me faith in the all too formulaic scene once again.
