We haven’t reviewed these Australian Thrashers back in 2016, but fortunately there are re-releases to bring back the attention to a band and their albums.
With ‘Awakened from the Abyss’ Hellbringer released, with the information we know today, their swansong back in 2016 via High Roller Records and you only have to think of “Slayer” while listening to this banger. You pick all the things that made ‘Show no Mercy’, ‘Hell Awaits’ and ‘Reign in Blood’ great and let them play by Slayer anno 1986. That’s ‘Awakened from the Abyss’!
For those who are whining about lack of originality, copycats or what not, when it is played as aggressive and with full commitment like Hellbringer does, you’ve earned my appreciation.
This is an album that will bring you back to the 80’s, and sure the aforementioned albums are the gold, silver and bronze in the competition, but ‘Awakened from the Abyss’ is a great speedy Thrash album without any doubt.
