Descent Into Darkness, the sixth full-length from Indiana-based blackened thrash/speed metal goliaths, WRAITH, is out now and streaming via Prosthetic Records!

Descent Into Darkness is at once uncompromising and undeniable. Lauds Sonic Perspectives, “The world of violence and horror that it builds in 35 minutes of time is vivid enough to rival a full-length feature film, and no self-respecting extreme thrash fan worth their salt will want to miss this premier.” Metal Epidemic concurs, “Beyond the sheer speed, Descent Into Darkness excels in its execution. The production strikes a tight balance as it retains the raw hostility of blackened thrash while benefiting from a clear mix that gives every bass line room to rumble and every kick drum real weight, without losing any guitar or vocal power.” Adds Meat Mead Metal, “the band… ravages with blackened thrash, feeling like a more acidic Motörhead in spots, bruising with grim fury in every spot. The rage and disgust watching the human race fall on its face matches the pace of the music, which can easily leave you bruised.”

Fast-rising U.S. metal powerhouse, BRAT, today releases a music video for the new song, “Spit on His Grave“. The payback-pushing track appears on BRAT‘s new album, ‘Manslayer’, a record that sees BRAT vocalist, Liz Selfish, pen trope-turning lyrics of women’s revenge, in which they take their power back. Inspired by country music songs like “Goodbye Earl” by The Chicks, “Before He Cheats” by Carrie Underwood, and “Gunpowder & Lead” by Miranda Lambert, the thematic angle of ‘Manslayer’ introduces a fresh new perspective to underground metal, causing NPR to proclaim, “BRAT is poised to celebrate its true breakthrough with Manslayer, a record destined to become essential listening in the metal genre.”

The release of the new BRAT video, directed by Jeff Van Gerwen. advances the band’s United Kingdom run of headlining live dates, which kick off on October 28.

“Spit on His Grave” is one of our favorite songs to play live!,” says Selfish. “It’s a very in-your-face, high energy song, and in true BRAT form we wanted to make the video campy and high energy as well.”  

“Over The Top” is the newest single from Indiana-based blackened thrash/speed metal behemoths, WRAITH. The smoldering new hymn comes by way of the band’s World War I-themed Descent Into Darkness full-length, slated to drop on November 13th through Prosthetic Records.

An ominous bass line crawls beneath a creeping guitar groove on “Over The Top.” Vocalist/guitarist Matt Sokol sneers, “Go,” and the track kicks into high gear. It captures the anxiety and tension of soldiers in a foxhole hanging on for dear life as a menacingly melodic lead pulls them back to the front.
