A veritable institution by now, DEATHSTORM have been flying the flag of hate since 2010, releasing albums on such well-regarded labels as I Hate and High Roller as well as delivering The Gallows EP to DYING VICTIMS in 2015and later on, 2020s’ For Dread Shall Reign. With but the Swarming demo quietly released in 2022, the question still remains: does the DEATHSTORM still rage? You better fucking believe it!
Witness Cascophonies, DEATHSTORM’s long-awaited fifth album. Wasting no time whatsoever, the Austrians kick in and lay waste to all that lay before them. As always, the spectre of classic Kreator looms large over DEATHSTORM still – and why should it not, when you’re STILL doing deathtrash this devastating? – but with Cascophonies, the band bring forth a whole host of new ideas as twisted as the album’s title suggests. While there’s (many) moments that are DEATHSTORM at their fiercest and fastest yet, Cascophonies contorts through myriad corridors, all of them dizzying, but always with a clear trajectory. Hooks and heavy metal leads crop up amongst the hammering riffs, riffs, RIFFS! Tempos speed up and slow down, or slow down and speed up – or, quite often, speed up to hyperspeed! Moshes and marches are also among DEATHSTORM’s arsenal here, along with a deadly production that’s organically clear yet cutting like the sharpest razor. And at 29 lean ‘n’ mean minutes, the record makes you beg for more!
Ever wanna hear late ‘80s Slayer and Dark Angel filtered through a Teutonic thrash lens? DEATHSTORM bring it to you with Cascophonies!
