Genre: thrash metal

Only in their late teens, Norwegian thrashers Inculter have already released an EP and a split, and now they are about to unleash their debut album upon the world.

I have seen the band described as cult blackened thrash band, and that description is perhaps not totally imprecise, but the songs that this album contain are more than just blackened thrash metal. There is enough of Slayer worship to go around (particularly reflected in the frantic guitar solos), to be sure, but the songs on the album are all dynamically composed and contain several parts, and the level of technicality is higher than on your average blackened thrash metal album. There is just as much, if not more, influence from Teutonic thrash as from black metal on this album. The main attraction of this album is the sheer aggression that every track harnesses.

This is not merely blackened thrash metal. It is fast and aggressive, but there are also enough things going on to keep fans of more complex thrash metal interested. In my book, this is a very strong debut album, and, given that the guys in the band are just kids, who knows what glorious thrash metal masterpieces the will create in the future.
