Doubting Thompson: Revelations (2022) - Reviewed By The Viking in the Wilderness ! Check it out below!

US band Doubting Thompson are out with the EP "Revelations", and metal is the style explored on this production. The band appears to have something of a foundation in thrash metal here, and will often explore and execute this form in a high pace and high intensity manner, with slower sections appearing now and then with a bit more of a chugging presence. At the same time they have a spoken like very distinct lead vocal style that comes with some hardcore associations attached to it, and in many of the songs we also get passages that hone in more on the staccato and repetitive arrangements more common in hardcore bands. Mix and production isn't the best on this album though, and the mastering does leave a bit to be desired too. But as long as you are okay with a bit more of a lo-fi execution in the technical department and have a general interest in bands that blend elements of thrash metal and hardcore, this is a production you might want to investigate at some point. - The Viking in the Wilderness

Release Date: December 8, 2021

FFO: Testament, Coroner, Exodus

Location: Wisconsin, USA

Bio: Doubting Thompson is a thrash metal band based in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. With a recent commemoration in the Encyclopedia Metallum , a physical release on the Satanica label and an expanding body of work on the Bandcamp platform, Doubting Thompson presents a powerfully aggressive interpretation of metal. Born and raised in Lake County, Illinois, lead guitarist/songwriter/vocalist Jeff Thompson's performance highlights his roots in old school thrash metal. With a musical style often compared to Testament, Coroner, and Exodus, Doubting Thompson offers a hard-hitting blend of old school thrash and contemporary sensibilities. Their technical precision and driving propulsion set their performances square between the raw edge of finesse and fury. They effortlessly combine pummeling riffs with provocative messages that will leave the listener engaged, incited, and ready to get in the pit. They are currently working on their fourth EP, tentatively titled "Lizard Brain Aggressions."
