Herratik, "Wrath-Divine"

Formerly known as Abortus, Herratik’s debut, Wrath-Divine represents the band’s third release. Much like their first two albums, these Aussies just love razor-sharp, caustic, slightly-blackened thrash, and they deal it out with plenty of vitriol and conviction. For an idea of what’s in store for you here, think of God Dethroned before they became complacent, mixed with Carnal Forge’s destructive attitude. Through the ten new tracks on Wrath-Divine, there isn’t a sloppy or dull moment, as the smart riffs, acid vocals and dense thrash drumming hold everything together in true fashion. In fact, this disc was good enough that after only one listen, I went out and bought their two Abortus releases, having never heard them before. If you like thrash, acquaint yourself with Herratik. Wrath-Divine is well worth whatever trouble you may have tracking it down.
