Deathrage - Self Conditioned Self Limited [CD]

In a short 35 minutes, Death rage presents their social commentary of the degeneration of society in their speed-infused, high-octane brand of thrash metal. From Hard Times are Coming to the closing, eponymous track Death rage, Death rage displays a whole host of influences from legends of their time. The speed and intensity that the band presents, with the furious riffing of Massimo and Lorenzo along with the frantic drumming of Roberto easily reminds one of the more aggressive style of bands such as Sadus and Dark Angel. At the same time, the band also includes a tinge of technicality of Bay Area legends like Testament and Exodus, and this is particularly obvious on the opening moments of Killing for Fame, as well as the rawer demo tracks that are included on the album.
