Devil Metal Force

Finnish black-thrashers Bonehunter are back with a new EP to follow their 2018 full length “Children Of The Atom”, an album I particularly enjoyed so without further ado, let’s get back into the speeding frenzy of these maniacs.

Whiplash guitar riffs and upbeat drum hammering dives right into the gloriously old school extreme metal bombardment with rasping snarls quickly ensuing to complete the raw and grisly assault. The huge walls of ripping guitar and chunky bass lines over relentlessly pummelled drums sound monolithic with the vocals to match. We are given some slower sections that add tension along with fiercely melodic solos that soar over the rhythmic churning beautifully. An inferno of pure morbid extremity with some punky edge giving the maniacal black-thrash some more groove and bite, delivering a furiously catchy and intense display of musical hellfire.

Howling and battering through demonic riffing, blasting, growling pieces with utmost energy and never-ending destruction in the bands wake, this new EP is unquestionably a passionate and ferocious slice of cutting edge black-thrash brilliance. “Turn Up The Evil” is a fantastic example of how Bonehunter perfectly balance black metal, thrash metal, speed metal and punk to conjure an insanely vicious blizzard of speeding extreme metal that is rivetingly fast and definitely memorable too, a track to blast and go mental, as is always the case with these guys. Savage and untamed with boundless obliterating aggression, Bonehunter are back on top form to deliver the Devil’s sleazy grime in the form of some killer heavy metal that is magnificently barbaric and catchy, pure headbanger fuel, as I would expect from these Finnish maniacs.
