Genre: thrash metal

Do you like horror? Do you like thrash metal? Yes? Then you are going to love Denial Fiend's sophomore full-length album "Horror Holocaust".

Musically, we are dealing with very solid mid- to uptempo thrash metal with a couple of heavy and groovy sections every now and then. The riffage, which ranges from primitive and evil riffs to semi-technical and evil riffs, is crushing, aggressive and incredibly solid - and thrash as hell. There are a couple of melodic passages and other melodic elements every now and then (such as many of the guitar solos which are often more rock- than metal-oriented), and these fit perfectly into the overall picture of the music.

The vocals may be hard to swallow for some listeners, but personally I think that the very angry vocal delivery - imbued with screams, snarls and plenty of fuck-you attitude suits the overall feel of the music on this album. The production, which is not too polished, but not too raw either, also has a certain fuck-you authenticity to it, which is most welcome.

"Horror Holocaust" by Denial Fiend should, with its crushing riffage and angry vocals and its horror-based violent lyrical universe, be an instant thrash metal classic - any fan of old school thrash metal should purchase it.
