The thrash resurgence is no joke, and Warbringer might be the most serious new-schoolers out there. With enough fury to start a circle pit in your head, this record rages on as if it were 1985 -- and in just under 40 minutes. With veteran thrash producer Bill Metoyer of Slayer & DRI fame in place, the raw aggression of the olden and golden days is captured on every scorching lick, wailing solo and stop-start changeup.
