I am dissappointed that you did not mention Warbringer - Weapons of Tomorrow in you shout outs. It is an awesome album on par with Woe to the Vanquished
I think I recommended Conformicide to someone as "a record I would masturbate furiously to", so I guess it's nice to know I'm not alone in that sentiment 😂🤷🏾♂️🥴
I've only listened to V a couple of times but it didn't impress me like Conformicide did. I know people like to shit on the lyrics with that album but it was the musicianship and the song writing that stood out for me. Nick Schendzielos' bass playing was absolutely stellar on that album as was the rest of the bands playing.
Same! I love his slap bass on Conformicide! It was a really nice touch that not a lot of bands (in metal or rock) are doing and it was a nice touch. (His bass on FCP always makes me want to get up and dance!)
Perfectly explained. I listened to this album on my way home from working frontline in my local hospital. It was good enough to force me to forget tuff life currently is. Thanks for the review. Thank you Havok for another amazing album.
Great review! The production on this record really is amazingly good. Reminds me a lot of the "And Justice for Jason" remix. Awesome thrash. Also, hello kitty.
great review! been loving the singles released until now and the album totally kickass! everything - the blackened intro, riffage, drums, bass tone and schuldiner-like vocals - come together for a great album! added to the fav 2020 list!
BANGERTV - All Metal Thankyou all. I have been very impressed with many reviews of albums over the past 18 months. Keep up the excellent work. Regards. Jonathan.
I came here because of photo in the delivered review video,, the cat took my attention. But I loved the review. I'm fungal research in education so I loved the cover ilustration because of the mushrooms in chest of the character drawn in the sleeve. Thanks from Brazil.
Not gonna lie, I only clicked because of the cat in the thumbnail. Now stoked for the record though. Traveler is a banger, really stoked for Wolftooth.
Yeah for me it used to maybe be Havok > Warbringer but after their last two albums it's definitely now Warbringer > Havok. This album let me down. Some decent parts but I was bored overall
Havok rule. Definitely one of the most killer bands. Not sure if you have already but did you review the latest Lost Society album? Their producer on it (Joonas Parkkonen) is Finland's Bob Rock and a guitarist you may like, imagine Slash meets Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom). Plus LS's guitarists also rule. Also Sweden's Dynazty are another killer band.
I've always liked Havok, but have had trouble really getting totally on board. Not sure why. I'll check this one out further, though! Thanks for the review! Also Daniel must be doing some quarantine lifting - those arms looking swol!
I loved Weapons Of Tomorrow too, maybe it's just me, but the mix is a little annoying when it comes to the vocals on that one. Kevill has one of the best voices in thrash period, it's just that when it's "storytelling-time" it actually drowns out the music. Lyrics and themes are Kevill's forte, but for me at least, the music comes first. Maybe that's why Sanchez's lyrics doesn't bother me thaaat much😂
Love the new album post truth era, phantom force, comsetric surgery are my favorite tracks have you checked out weapons of tomorrow by warbringer omg its amazing the black hand reaches out, firepower kills, Notre dame (king of fools), and glorious end amazing closer for the album THRASH TIL DEATH cheers 🍻 Dekay
I loved the new album. The message is good too. Its understandable why they yell the way they do to get their point across. They capture how lots of people feel
Perfectly stated, I agree with everything you said, but I do enjoy the lyrics. Not nearly as in your face as Conformicide but still good. Also that Traveler album rips hard.
I cant decide which record is best... Warbringers newest or havoks newest.... they are so damn epic! No bad songs. Just pure class from start to finish!
This is the best thrash I've heard in a few years. I think the last really impressive albums I've heard were havok and warbringers previous albums. Coincidentally V and Weapons of tomorrow are some of the best metal of this year too
make sure to check out the new Valdrin coming out. super grim and epic 90's influenced metal with guitar pedal keyboards instead of actual keys. hands down, my most anticipated release
I do think that David's lyrics are a slight improvement from the last album. But yeah, he isn't the most eloquent spokesperson for these ideas haha. It helps that they're doing thrash metal though, as it's an acceptable genre to write really blunt and over-the-top lyrics.
Anyone else still disappointed by the lack of a Trivium review? At least it's Havok, saw these guys play Vancouver in 2018 with Suicidal Tendencies and they killed it!
TH-cam put the track uploads from this album in my feed so I figured I'd give it a shot... I'm pleased to see them toning back the lyrics after feeling utterly alienated by Unnatural Selection and Confirmicide, but even so while I enjoy Time is Up I must admit I'm just a bigger fan of the style they had with the Burn lineup. My personal favorite tracks are Fate Controls and Havok, both songs that unfortunately didn't make it past the Pwn 'em All EP to receive the tune-up Identity Theft, The Root of Evil, and To Hell did for Burn. So yeah, my impression of what I've heard so far on this album is that it's listenable, but hasn't captured my interest.
Solid album by Havok but Warbringer put out not only the best thrash album of 2020 but my favorite metal album of 2020 (so far)! Warbringer are my Thrash Daddy
We were bummed we couldn't get a review together in time for release because of Covid but we still tried to show some Testament love with that raw & uncut interview we posted last week. Check it out!
I used to listen to Time Is Up quite a bit 7-8 years ago, along with other thrash revivalist bands - Vektor, Hexen, Evile. I know that Hexen disbanded, but does anyone know if any of the guys involved have been in other projects? They were my favourite of the bunch.
Man I don't know. On paper I should love everything about this album. Sick drums, pissed voice, standout bass, shred solos, fast riffs, fat production. But something just doesn't quite klick with me this time and Havok are my favorite new Thrash band. 😞
I was gonna pay you out for once again telling us you had met the band. But then you made us meet your cat. I understand now that meeting is important to you.
This album is pretty close to Plagiarism, just the first track is 'blackened of metallica". Subsequently you'll come across Tankar, Motörhead, Megadeth and classic thrashers. Zero Skulls
I like the fast songs better than the slower ones. I'm not a huge fan of the slow thrash stuff...what's the point? For me it's no longer thrash if it's slow. :-)
I am dissappointed that you did not mention Warbringer - Weapons of Tomorrow in you shout outs. It is an awesome album on par with Woe to the Vanquished
Max Braun It’s so good Banger doesn’t think it needs any help.
That album will totally get some love elsewhere on the channel! It rips.
@@BangerTV IT BETTER! It's so fucking gooooooooooooooooooooooood!
If you like Warbringer check out an early 90’s band called Demolition Hammer.
@@chud8you629 THIS.
“My wrist is hurting just listening to them.”
Er.
I've checkeing this comment exactly when he said it
I think I recommended Conformicide to someone as "a record I would masturbate furiously to", so I guess it's nice to know I'm not alone in that sentiment 😂🤷🏾♂️🥴
Carpal Tunnel worthy riffage
Unfortunate that Nick Schendzielos is gone. That guy is a monster. Can't go wrong with some Havok though, always solid 🤘
I've only listened to V a couple of times but it didn't impress me like Conformicide did. I know people like to shit on the lyrics with that album but it was the musicianship and the song writing that stood out for me. Nick Schendzielos' bass playing was absolutely stellar on that album as was the rest of the bands playing.
I’m actually taking lessons from Nick, he is a really cool dude and great teacher
CEPHALLIC CARNAGE!!!!!!
Same! I love his slap bass on Conformicide! It was a really nice touch that not a lot of bands (in metal or rock) are doing and it was a nice touch. (His bass on FCP always makes me want to get up and dance!)
Perfectly explained. I listened to this album on my way home from working frontline in my local hospital. It was good enough to force me to forget tuff life currently is. Thanks for the review. Thank you Havok for another amazing album.
Thanks for watching Glenn!
Finally we got a Daniel review I have been waiting for a longtime.
Great review! The production on this record really is amazingly good. Reminds me a lot of the "And Justice for Jason" remix. Awesome thrash. Also, hello kitty.
Havok Rips! What a day! New Havok and Vader! Thanks for the review Daniel.
MAY 1st: THRASH ECSTASY
Definitely checking out ALL of these releases this month!
Nice review, nice references, nice shout outs, and nice kitty.
Yes thank you for reviewing a new release today! Love the cat 💚
Awesome review man. Hope Banger uses you for reviewing albums more often!
No Vader - Solitude In Madness !???, not even in shout outs...
Great record. Blayne has it in his Metal Monthly and of course it's been in solid rotation over here too.
Great review Daniel, you should do this definitely more often!!!!
Stoked to check out Errant and thanks for showing Traveler some love!
Big fans of both
great review! been loving the singles released until now and the album totally kickass! everything - the blackened intro, riffage, drums, bass tone and schuldiner-like vocals - come together for a great album! added to the fav 2020 list!
The new HAVOK album is on fire!
Love the background! Havok are a must listen to in terms of modern thrash. This album V definitely bands of aggression!
Finally subscribed to this excellent community 👍🏻
Welcome to the party!
BANGERTV - All Metal Thankyou all. I have been very impressed with many reviews of albums over the past 18 months. Keep up the excellent work. Regards. Jonathan.
Get INTO it! Banger is a family! go back! so much to watch. and welcome!
Those are some beautiful locks, Mr. Dekay.
great review, way to go Dan, way to go Banger
I came here because of photo in the delivered review video,, the cat took my attention. But I loved the review. I'm fungal research in education so I loved the cover ilustration because of the mushrooms in chest of the character drawn in the sleeve. Thanks from Brazil.
I saw them open for Destruction in '07 when they were just a local Denver band. They were super cool guys and I still have the pick they gave me
Lots of warbringer and havok comparisons, but why not listen to both??
voice of reason!!!
You can listen to both. But just know Warbringer is better 🤣
100%, the two bands are really tight friends too. Crank both. 2 great thrash albums released a week apart - we are BLESSED!
@@Jimmykarnage yes but no
V shreds! Proud of our hometown boys.
P.S. Love the shirt, Dan. Lich King rules!
LICH KING RULES!!!
Agree with essentially everything! As a person who wasn’t as big into havok back in the Burn, Time is Up days, I was super impressed!
Not gonna lie, I only clicked because of the cat in the thumbnail. Now stoked for the record though. Traveler is a banger, really stoked for Wolftooth.
This is the thrash corner here at Banger. Anyone feeling any love for Sylosis’s new record?
Sam Saalfeld a complete masterpiece
The new Warbringer album is awesome. Havok are good, but Warbringer are great
Warbringer > Havok
Oh yes, 100% agree, the new Warbringer is incredible.
Yeah for me it used to maybe be Havok > Warbringer but after their last two albums it's definitely now Warbringer > Havok. This album let me down. Some decent parts but I was bored overall
This sounds awesome! Love Havok.
Havok rule. Definitely one of the most killer bands.
Not sure if you have already but did you review the latest Lost Society album? Their producer on it (Joonas Parkkonen) is Finland's Bob Rock and a guitarist you may like, imagine Slash meets Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom). Plus LS's guitarists also rule.
Also Sweden's Dynazty are another killer band.
The album sounds great and had very solid riffs and drums (of course, Pete is an animal). The influence of "...And Justice For All" is clear.
I've always liked Havok, but have had trouble really getting totally on board. Not sure why. I'll check this one out further, though! Thanks for the review! Also Daniel must be doing some quarantine lifting - those arms looking swol!
Listen to conformicide it's by far their best record
Well I'll be damned, I was watching one of your reviews when I got this notification.
inception!
Thanks for the review🤘🤘🤘🤘
I think the world needs more "wake up sheeple!" lyrics. But maybe it's cuz I don't feel like it's being yelled at ME.
"Ima let you finish but Warbringer had just dropped the best album of all time." -Yeezus
*mic drop*
I loved Weapons Of Tomorrow too, maybe it's just me, but the mix is a little annoying when it comes to the vocals on that one. Kevill has one of the best voices in thrash period, it's just that when it's "storytelling-time" it actually drowns out the music. Lyrics and themes are Kevill's forte, but for me at least, the music comes first. Maybe that's why Sanchez's lyrics doesn't bother me thaaat much😂
Jimmy Karnage lmao
@@kafaanda I agree Kevill's mix was so disappointing!
Awesome man. I didn't even know that I really didn't want to see a review for this album
Ik everyone’s spoken up about warbringer, but can Dylan review the new caligula’s Horse album that comes out this month? Thanks b
It's definitely on his May tip sheet on Patreon.
Just heard the album today, pretty solid stuff, might pick up the CD or vinyl.
New Havok album is great.
Im just a casual metal fan but this album blew me away
Love the new album post truth era, phantom force, comsetric surgery are my favorite tracks have you checked out weapons of tomorrow by warbringer omg its amazing the black hand reaches out, firepower kills, Notre dame (king of fools), and glorious end amazing closer for the album THRASH TIL DEATH cheers 🍻 Dekay
Yeah Weapons of Tomorrow is really tasty as well! Far more Teutonic sounding than American at times, digging it.
@@BangerTV Definetly cheers banger and crew 🍻🍻
I saw these guys open for Anthrax, they are awesome. Havok, Warbringer, and Power Trip are all fantastic new-era thrash bands.
Great Review!!
I loved the new album. The message is good too. Its understandable why they yell the way they do to get their point across. They capture how lots of people feel
NEW TRAVELER!!!!!??? YEEEEEES!!!!
Great album and a hell of a year for thrash. I'm happy to be able to enjoy the new Warbringer, Testament, and Havok records all so close together.
Perfectly stated, I agree with everything you said, but I do enjoy the lyrics. Not nearly as in your face as Conformicide but still good. Also that Traveler album rips hard.
Great review, I’ll definitely be checking it out. Also followed your twitch channel 👌🤘
The surreal art of this album is fucking awesome 😎
Don't Do It is a fantastic song on this great album!
Good luck to the new bassist when having to play Conformicide songs live. Not saying hes bad, but Nick Shinz wrote some ridiculously hard stuff
I cant decide which record is best... Warbringers newest or havoks newest.... they are so damn epic! No bad songs. Just pure class from start to finish!
This is the best thrash I've heard in a few years. I think the last really impressive albums I've heard were havok and warbringers previous albums. Coincidentally V and Weapons of tomorrow are some of the best metal of this year too
This album will compete with Ballistic Sadistic, Titans of Creation, and Weapons of Tomorrow for album of the year. They're all really good.
Don't get me wrong I love havok but no review on the new Vader album?
Vid starts at 2:40
I've been calling it Havok Five
I work today so I’ll be listening to the new Havok and Warbringer 🤘🤘🤘
make sure to check out the new Valdrin coming out. super grim and epic 90's influenced metal with guitar pedal keyboards instead of actual keys. hands down, my most anticipated release
I do think that David's lyrics are a slight improvement from the last album. But yeah, he isn't the most eloquent spokesperson for these ideas haha. It helps that they're doing thrash metal though, as it's an acceptable genre to write really blunt and over-the-top lyrics.
100%
I agree, but this album is undeniably a riff fest and I personally think the best Havok album as a whole! Such a good record!
@@jacobwells3538 I've spent all day in front of my computer learning fear campaign by ear. This album is badass
Pale Mare! Used to work with the drummer
Anyone else still disappointed by the lack of a Trivium review? At least it's Havok, saw these guys play Vancouver in 2018 with Suicidal Tendencies and they killed it!
I’m digging that psycho circus poster
Any chance you're willing to sell your vinyl copy of Time Is Up by Havok? Nice review!
I just picked up V today and it is excellent. Get it or lose out on a great thrash album
TH-cam put the track uploads from this album in my feed so I figured I'd give it a shot... I'm pleased to see them toning back the lyrics after feeling utterly alienated by Unnatural Selection and Confirmicide, but even so while I enjoy Time is Up I must admit I'm just a bigger fan of the style they had with the Burn lineup.

I really dig this album
Solid album by Havok but Warbringer put out not only the best thrash album of 2020 but my favorite metal album of 2020 (so far)! Warbringer are my Thrash Daddy
Havok is really going places 💙
You have Warbringer’s new album on your radar? That shit is dope.
I liked the not full scream vocals on "Don't do it" :)
Great album in my opinion.
Dude your fucking tattoos are dope
The cat looked high!! LOL!!
Not a painter, but is that artwork made with oil paints? Looks super different (and cool!) from the typical metal album artwork
Havok is just awesome.
We need a Warbringer Review!
When a review for new Testament album?!!!
Well it was released like 2 weeks ago, so probably never, but why you need a review it's a good album go listen to it.
We were bummed we couldn't get a review together in time for release because of Covid but we still tried to show some Testament love with that raw & uncut interview we posted last week. Check it out!
Ms666slayer I want a review exactly because I loved it lol just like opinions of other people that knows about the music we love
I used to listen to Time Is Up quite a bit 7-8 years ago, along with other thrash revivalist bands - Vektor, Hexen, Evile. I know that Hexen disbanded, but does anyone know if any of the guys involved have been in other projects? They were my favourite of the bunch.
The drummer in Hexen, Carlos Cruz Warbringer's drummer.
Hey! Can you review some of Death’s new live releases? The On Stage Analog Series. They’re coming seemingly out of nowhere.
Hey! Where is the Trivium Review!!. That album is near Perfect!
havok just ordered.
Man I don't know. On paper I should love everything about this album. Sick drums, pissed voice, standout bass, shred solos, fast riffs, fat production. But something just doesn't quite klick with me this time and Havok are my favorite new Thrash band. 😞
finally some trash reviewed. Always black metal or deathcore stuff gets boring . Great review
Nestor Laverde Lol trash
*h
Freudian slip?
I saw Havok four years ago opening for Megadeth. Review the new Vader and Warbringer!
Damn, at least 2020 is awesome in terms of music 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Will there be a review for the new Testament album? It's awesome.
I was gonna pay you out for once again telling us you had met the band. But then you made us meet your cat. I understand now that meeting is important to you.
Review for Testament, Trivium, Warbringer, Vader?
This album is pretty close to Plagiarism, just the first track is 'blackened of metallica". Subsequently you'll come across Tankar, Motörhead, Megadeth and classic thrashers. Zero Skulls
What is Banger's review of Oranssi Pazuzu's latest album Mestarin Kynsi ... it is awesome...
I would have been impressed by your record collection if I hadn't seen Sarah's a few weeks ago.
shots fired
THINK YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT THE DEBUT EXA ALBUM \M/
They just kill the german underground right now 🔥🔥🔥
Will we get a Warbringer review of the new album?
Music during end credits reminds me a little of Pestilence, Testimony era.
I wish this Album was available on Bandcamp
New havok?? Wow didn’t know this was coming!
SURPRISE
Que cantidad de vinilos, este año 2020 han aparecido muy buenos trabajos con respecto al Thrash saludos desde Argentina
Dat Warbringer & Testament doe 💀💀💀💀🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽Kitten needs a more metal name too dude But adorable and awesome nonetheless 😺😼😸
I like the fast songs better than the slower ones. I'm not a huge fan of the slow thrash stuff...what's the point? For me it's no longer thrash if it's slow. :-)
3/5 its ok, same than the new Warbringer. Testament or Trivium are another level.
