WRAITH - Absolute Power review



WRAITH - Absolute Power

Redefining Darkness Records




As the saying goes "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". In this Indiana band's case it's their blackened speed metal style. A style made notable by bands like MIDNIGHT and TOXIC HOLOCAUST. We're talking about that old school speed metal sound matched up with blackened deep harsh vocals.


There are plenty of other acts out there doing similar things but this band on this their second full length have nailed it. WRAITH, who are a three piece act, use the slash and burn short song attack, titles are chorus' for crowd educing shouts. There's some punk rock ethos as with their inclusion of a very obscure MISFITS' cover "Death Comes Ripping". In the end it's enjoyable.
