Wulfskol- Hellshock (2017)


Holy Hell! Wulfskol (Pronounced Wolf Skull) is a magnificent four piece out of Houston, TX that is half black metal, half punk and completely fucking brutal. At 23 minutes long, their debut album "Hellshock" may seem short for a full release, but that's only because they know that it's so good you'll be listening to it twice in a row. The songs are all fast-paced and catchy, complete with melodic backing vocals singing "woah", but that does nothing to distract from the band's raw metal assault. The guitar is absolutely furious and rages through every song growling out death threats that are only overshadowed by the violent roar of the front man. The drumming is so sharp you'll cut yourself, and if you aren't paying attention some lightning fast rolls in the middle of the song will end up making you bleed. As I listening to this album Venom came to mind, but in retrospect, this has a harsher, grittier tone. You've got to hear this- but just be warned that it will grind your bones into dust. -Brandon
