When Barbaroz started I, Destroyer back in 2003, I’ll bet he thought it wouldn’t take 20 years before releasing his first official release.
After 4 demos ‘Cold, Dead Hands’ saw the light and presented some Death Metal infused Black/Thrash to the world. With hints of the raw aggression of first wave early Bathory, Mayhem and Sodom and 80s Death Metal, it is evident that the production doesn’t need a polished production. On ‘Speed Kills’ you will hear the more Speed Metal like rockin’ riffs of I, Destroyer, so you will hear every aspect of 80s Extreme Metal on ‘Cold, Dead Hands’.
For those who crave the raw, untamed sound of Black/ Thrash, this EP is worth checking out to see if this one will satifies your craving.
