THE BEAST

Hope Wears Black by In Chaos Reviewed by Metal Integral Magazine

Portuguese thrash metal titans In Chaos have received high praise from Metal Integral Magazine for their explosive new album, Hope Wears Black. In a glowing review, the band is hailed for delivering an essential thrash metal record for 2024, cementing their place in the international metal scene.

Formed in 2010 and known for their relentless dedication despite numerous lineup changes, In Chaos has emerged stronger than ever. Their debut album From Chaos Rises Order (2016) introduced their signature blend of heavy metal and mid-tempo thrash. Now, with their sophomore release, Hope Wears Black, the band has taken their sound to new heights.

Metal Integral describes Hope Wears Black as "a top-tier thrash album" that draws parallels to the legendary Bay Area thrash scene, particularly likening André Marinho's vocal style to that of Megadeth's Dave Mustaine. The album’s sharp, syncopated rhythms and melodic prowess offer a fresh take on thrash, with tracks like Something You Can't Be setting the stage with a Megadeth-inspired sound.

The review highlights the album's transformation from a solid first half to a more intense second half, with tracks like War Is Coming standing out as a defining moment. The basslines, reminiscent of Billy Sheehan, and the overall speed metal structure are lauded for opening new horizons for the band. Songs like Venom and Roots of Hate push the boundaries of thrash, showcasing In Chaos' technical mastery, prog elements, and powerful arrangements.

Metal Integral’s reviewer expressed admiration for the album’s climactic closer, praising the "complex riff, epic solos, and white-hot rhythm" that deliver a striking finish to the album. In Chaos’ ability to blend speed thrash with pounding metal, along with their exceptional musicianship, has left fans and critics alike in awe.

The review concludes by commending the band for crafting a high-level work that could make "San Francisco feel like the capital of Portugal." After eight years, Hope Wears Black not only lives up to expectations but elevates In Chaos to the forefront of the thrash metal revival.

Hope Wears Black is available now, and fans can expect more thrilling performances and releases from In Chaos as they continue to conquer the global metal scene.

For fans of: Megadeth, Bay Area thrash, technical thrash metal.
