BLOODRIDE - Deafening
WormHoleDeath
Thrash from fucking Finland, oh hell yeah I'm interested. This is my first time checking out BLOODRIDE who are a five piece Thrash act. The band has been around since 2000 and has sporadically released a bunch of stuff. This is actually their fifth full length. In all honesty if you're into Thrash 2025 and looking for something new and cool then here ya go.
Deafening is a twelve song album, actually there's an intro so it's really eleven cuts in a little over thirty seven minutes. Time wise this falls into that perfect sound limit since over forty minutes is too long for Thrash. Musically BLOODRIDE's sound is traditional US Thrash which I'm cool with. They're more into the fuckin aggro style which is always great to pit to.
The vocals are on the pissed off angry side of things. There's some great riffs on here that push the aggressive point across. But they do know to add some sort of melody without sacrificing there mean attitude. The drum work is full on dynamic which it needs to be. I can barely hear any bass lines. But the guitar lead work is vicious without being over bearing.
All in all this is a damm good Thrash album and in 2025. Yes I'm shocked, shocked I say, that it's a fucking Finnish band who comes out with some enthusiastic sounds that sure have influences. But Fuck You Mr. Jaded Old School Thrash POS (who probably got into the genre twenty years ago). If someone like me, who remembers the early days of Thrash, can like a cool modern band and give em props. Well that just means I'm cool and BLOODRIDE need to be on the main-stage at Wacken.
