Misconception, by Critical Defiance

Misconception

by Critical Defiance

supported by

Juan Valdeath Quite possibly the best thrash metal album since the early 90s. Sounds like it could be a lost classic from 87-90, but it’s not a paint-by-numbers retro exercise, either. Vicious riffs and killer lead work (check out the Maiden-esque harmonies on “Spiral of Hatred” and ""Onset"). Love that snare sound, too.

Gojira Blume It slays big time, it's a reign of slaying, totally slaying from the abyss. I will not repent this purchase.

KillingForCompany There is plenty of "bay area" appeal, which I'm a sucker for, but it isn't exploitative, and at times gets full-boar-Teutonic. A moment of arrival for a young band, and essential for thrash metal in 2019. Favorite track: Punished Existence.

Five years on, and this is still the absolute gold standard for doom infused death metal. Would love a followup or even a vinyl repress. Based Gooner Squad
