Sathanas formed in 1988 and have been around for more than twenty years now with an unrelenting old school black thrash attack. The band has really not progressed in any way from the days of their debut Black Earth except in the most important way. They?ve steadily become better and better at writing kick ass hymns to the horned one. Nightrealm Apocalypse is the band?s seventh and latest release and continues the Sathanas tradition of satanic extreme thrash metal that has hints of black and death metal while always making sure that the riff is supreme. The album is all slow to mid paced with one kickass riff in each song that is ably backed up by the rhythm section and a raspy blackened shriek that is used very effectively. The band also makes use of backing growls in a very controlled and well thought out manner to heighten the aggressiveness of these songs while retaining that pure old school vibe at all times. This is really enjoyable and highly addicting Satanic extreme thrash metal, don't miss it!
