Metal maniacs, rejoice! I'm proud to present to you:
TRALLERY; signed via
Art Gate Records, hailing from Spanish grounds - performing Thrash Metal, on their sophomore release entitled: “
Spiritless”. (
released on November 4th, 2016)
Since formation in 2010; the quintet in question have only the debut album “
Catalepsy” (
released on June 3rd, 2013), and a Live Record entitled “
Path Of Live” (
released on April 1st, 2014). I'm introduced to their third thrasher “
Spiritless”. Thrash Metal comes running back to me once again! Don't you just love coming out of your job in a rage and then coming home to some explosive Thrash Metal to relieve yourself of any stress you may come across? I sure bloody do.
TRALLERY deliver uncompromising Thrash Metal that stays true to form and formulates an unparalleled distinctive to boot. Right off the speakers; the titular track “
Spiritless” begins, generating a sort of
EXODUS (
from the newest record “Blood In, Blood Out”) incentive from the rhythmic and dextrous duo from
Humberto Pol Castañeda on bass and vocals &
Biel Gayà Arbona on guitars and backing vocals.
The aforementioned consists of complex development with distinct vocal cords in which showcases a fascinating blend of Hardcore vocalisation; seamlessly contribute brilliantly to the chosen sub-genre at hand. Channelling pummelling riffery of an intricate design composes up-tempo elegance and sounds exquisitely enticing for a joyous yet instrumentally fulfilling jam - the powerhouse from
Sebastià Barceló Riera on drums profoundly executes an energetically destructive pattern to his set , which transforms the entire production with fiercely divine results. “
Spiritless” comprises of 11 highly detailed tracks ranging at around 49:17; songs like “
Abominate”, “
Evil Pride” & “
Scavenger Crow” efficiently provide a sufficient amount of intense songwriting that's both memorable and original to the sound production - incorporating an organic aesthetic to substance which flows throughout each song incredibly.
“
Unknown Confusion”, “
Hidden Scar” & “
Hollow Stare” continue with an overflowing amount of ferocious stimulation…excessively crushing with an adept adroitness in substantial musicianship; proficiently exercising at a glaring sense of flair and showcasing clean vocals for a more slowed down perspective, immediately up-beating and traversing through with enlightening speed. “
Keep Your Eyes Open”, “
Hunt To Kill” & “
Time Is Over” extends the experience with stunning showmanship - continuing the expertise
TRALLERY distribute splendidly. And so “
Spiritless” concludes with “
The Attraction Remains” – overall, I was pleasantly surprised with this release, this happy thrasher enjoyed a solid slab that competitively showcased prominent consistency to the Thrash genre all round. If you're hungry for something that sounds like something the American Big Four would produce; look no further, check it out via their Bandcamp for yourselves and open the pit!
