S2 Ep11 METHANE, Swedish Thrash metal!!!!!!

Bio:

It was late 2012 when bassist / singer Tim Scott of legendary Death Metal band Revenant and Hell Patrol's Jimi Masterbo put the kindling for Methane to the flame.  Now joined by Cryonic Temple axeman Markus Grundstom and Jonathan Fundin torching the drums, the band is set to release a new tempest on to the metal scene .

Through the years since then Methane have fueled the pyre with numerous tours in both Europe and the United States spreading the fire by opening for bands such as Whiplash, Warbringer, The Haunted and Nervosa, building a searingly ferocious following in the underground metal scene.            

Now in the smoldering embers of the bands 2017 release of The Devil's Own album, Methane returns bringing a scorching follow up, engulfed in brimstone , with its original, strong and unapologetic sound in the veins of Slayer , Havok and Kreator, entitled Kill It With Fire.

Methane is fueled by

Tim Scott - Bass and vocals

Jimi Mästerbo - Guitar

Markus Grundström - Guitar

Jonathan Fundin - Drums

KILL IT WITH FIRE   Release: January 27, 2023

Track list

1 Kill It With Fire

2 Accuser

3 Declare Chaos

4 Shock and Awe

5 A Blood Red Sky (feat. C.J. Scioscia, Blood Feast)

6 Down in the Gutter

7 Thin the Herd

Summary Review: Swedish Power house of Thrash! Boi, i'll tell you thrash is one of my favorite genres. thrash brings out the raw uncensored opinion, we need alot more of that. Kill it with Fire, is Methane's most recent release. I honestly believe it gets thrash back to where it should be. Opinionated, raw, brutal, fast, in your face metal. no Bullshit writing to fill up an album or a record label's requirement. This Album gets it right and is from the heart. Tim Scott reminds me a lot of Warrel Dane from Nevermore, by how he writes. Each song, brings the Heat and has purpose and meaning. i feel like this group of reviews, these bands, have great passion and purpose in their writing and playing. Methane will be another great addition into looking into my playlist. Great work guys!

S2 Ep10

Bio: Founded in 2015, Mur.Doc 104 is a 5-piece old-school thrash metal band from Malta influenced by the Bay Area Movement of the 80s, citing bands like Exodus, Death Angel, Forbidden & Hirax as main influences.
The band was founded by guitarists Joseph and Steven (Animamortua), with Oliver (A Black White Satellite) joining soon after on drums and Andrew on bass. In 2017, Luke (Killerwitch) joined the band as frontman to complete the line-up
Since their first show in 2018, Mur.Doc 104 were called in to play all major local metal events & festivals and have shared the stage with various international acts including Leprous, Omnium Gatherum, Kryptos, Insulter & Doomas amongst others.
In 2019, the band parted ways with founding member Steven, later to be replaced by Shaun (Rankin/Pupi tal-Loghob) on guitars in 2020, then in 2022, Sean (Sonic Storm/ Psychopath/ Zabbeth) took over bass duties instead of Andrew, thus completing the line-up as it is today.
Mur.Doc 104 released their first song titled Insolenza in peak COVID pandemic as an ode to the dour times the nation was going through and the inconsistencies witnessed by the common people. They later re-released an English version of the song (titled Reign of the Dead) for their international fans.

Review:

So just like the video, before i cracked open the EPK, i was like.... These Guys sound like Death Angel! I friggin love DA. I got into them around 2019ish/2020( Humanicide) cause i was slowly going back in time to grab bands that aren't: Metallic, Megadeth, Iron maiden etc. So when i turned on The Undying, I got slammed! I almost fell out of my chair! I really look forward to the next album from Mur.doc 104. My only complaint that i needed more tracks off this EP haha. I loved how the album captures alot of Death Angel/Anthrax like essence and keeps rolling track to track but has the old song that doesn't make it sound to modern which i truly like! I await more content from Mur.Doc 104 and wish your gentlemen the best! -atreyu

Review:

Round 2, i had this typed up before but for some reason there was an upload error that uploaded the videos with the wrong episode description.

"Gravehuffer's Depart From So Much Evil, is just that, A departure from the mediocre creativity that is currently plaguing the metal community. Gravehuffer takes us on a journey of fresh, brutal, creative and destructive metal. From the multipart fury and musical storm of self-entitled album song, Depart from so much evil to the fast paced onslaught of Go Murder Pray and Die. This album brings an array of groove, grind, fast in your face METAL. DFSME will Reign in my Top 5 of 2023 albums!" - Atreyu

Becoming the ally

Endless journey to our home

I’ve survived,

EP Releases in February. 

As y'all can see we definitely went over our usually time but that cannot be helped when you have a group of guys so passionate about their craft.

I repeatedly say these guys are a group to watch going into the rest of 2023! I know their fan base will pick up and the ball will start rolling!

We touched on who they are, some behind the song meanings, personal takes, likes and what not. I usually don't structure these sessions cause I feel you want these interviews, episodes, etc to be about them, the guest.  I wish nothing but the best for Edolus and know they will get very far!

Next guest will be announced eventually, i had to guest, basically back to back, so it was a lot of work and research to get things done! So I may take a week off, plus i have shows on the 4th and 12th!  STAY TUNED FOR MORE MADNESS
