THE BEAST

Darkfall - Thrashing Death Squad EP - Reviewed By Metal Digest ! Check it out here at this link: https://metal-digest.com/2022/03/25/darkfall-thrashing-death-squad-ep/

      There is one thing that death/thrash bands know how to do and that is to batten down the hatches, bang the head that doesn’t bang and plough forward at breakneck speed. One band which does not have time for pussyfooting around are Darkfall as the Austrian band return with their latest EP ‘Thrashing Death Squad’.

                When you name something ‘Thrashing Death Squad’, you know you mean business and with this album, Darkfall stick well and truly to their guns as their turn the snow of the Austrian Alps from pristine white to endless black. Yeah sure, there isn’t anything here that Darkfall haven’t really done before, the whole EP has the thrashing death feel of Vader coupled with the raw power of ‘Leprosy’/’Spiritual Healing’ era Death whilst having the scathing vengeance of those early Kreator and Destruction EP’s. That sound that you have in your head right now, that’s exactly what ‘Thrashing Death Squad’ sounds like and because of that, there are literally no surprises here.

                Darkfall have released something which is again solid, it doesn’t rock the boat or pretend to be something it isn’t. ‘Thrashing Death Squad’ puts its head down and just gets on with it and you can’t ask for more than that. - Metal Digest

Ever since the very beginning in 1995, the Austrian band DARKFALL has been known for high-quality and uncompromising Thrashed Death Metal. With the first releases Winter Leaves (1998) and Dimensions Beyond (1999), as well as with the follow-ups Firebreed (2001) and Phoenix Rising (2006), the band has unarguably left its marks in the landscapes of Extreme Metal. The boxed set Through Fiery Times And Beyond (2008) finally immortalized the band's first ambitious years. The albums Road to Redemption (2013) and At The End Of Times (2017) are both continuations of their legacy and brute campaigns towards a new era. Their latest EP Thrashing Death Squad (2021) again combines all trade-marks like brutal but nevertheless epic riffing, blasting drums and harsh growls of DARKFALL’s unique style.
