Helgrind release their four track thrash metal EP as a taster for the bands soon to be recorded album. With some recent lineup changes Helgrind have moved up a gear and are intent on becoming not only the fastest thrash metal band in Britain but with their previous incarnation of a death metal band, they also intend on being the most Brutal thrash metal band.
The EP opens with the title track 'Fallen Prophet' and proves to be a rumbustious tune clocking in at 180 plus beats and is a great tune for a spot of nodding and chanting and the speed is kept up on all the tracks. Helgrind keep it simple with some buzz saw riffing and splice in a little solo in the traditional slot approx two thirds into the tune while chanting the vocals in short lines allowing you to
grab breath before the next line. The forth track shows the bands death pedigree and allows them to be more menacing although they obviously can't resist a little trash here anyway. Not a bad offering at all and perhaps they could capture the title of fastest thrash in the UK.
