I couldn't pass up the opportunity to review a Kaiju inspired metal band. There's no fucking way. I stumbled upon this after wanting to listen to something not related to Stoner, Doom, and Sludge and this was for sure a great find. The Kaiju inspired Oxygen Destroyer play Death Thrash that harkens back to the Teutonic Thrash of Kreator, as well as Early Sepultura/Sarcófago; while also having a more modern sound that reminded me of Ghoul on meth. It's brutal, it fucking rips, and it has that vicious Thrash Attack like the three headed King Ghidorah swooping down from the sky to spew fire at his arch nemeses and scorch the earth.
Deranged riffs are whipped up in a maniacal whirlwind at breakneck speed throughout "Bestial Manifestations of Malevolence and Death" (What a name!). If only more Thrash were played with this kind of ferocity and barbarity. This shit is just non-stop relentless savagery front to back. Chainsaw guitars, blast beats, raspy demonic vocals, blistering leads; this what it sounds like when Kaiju fight. I was really blown away by this release, and it's definitely inching its way to my year end list. I mean if you're into Extreme Music that's played super fucking fast, I'm pretty sure you'll dig this one. Highly Recommended! -Samir
