Anyone that cut their metal teeth with The Big Four, and then dug a little deeper into the indie scene, should receive a major endorphin rush when they discover that speed and thrash masters\u00a0RAZOR\u00a0<\/strong>are about to release their first studio offering in 25 years. The album,\u00a0Cycle of Contempt<\/strong><\/em>, is a direct, cutthroat record that pulls no punches and takes no prisoners.<\/p>\n

From the catchy, concise riffs and insistent beats of album opener \u201cFlames of Hatred\u201d to the double-barreled assault, muted power chord chugging and combative gang vocal of album closer \u201cKing Shit,\u201d\u00a0Cycle of Contempt<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is a trenchant reminder of a time when clubs around the world were packed with long-haired bands that played as fast as they could and mosh pits that spun and tumbled like clothes in a short-circuiting dryer.<\/p>\n

As energetic and exciting as Evil Invaders and as urgent and powerful as\u00a0RAZOR\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a01989 speed-fest Violent Restitution,\u00a0Cycle of Contempt<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0showcases a band that never stopped spewing venom.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tried to write songs that everybody could listen to and say, \u201cYeah, I know a guy who’s done that to me or done this, or I know that situation. I can relate to that,\u201d band founder Dave Carlo says. \u201cAnd I didn\u2019t want to make everything specifically about me because when you do that, you exclude people. I wanted to include everyone that\u2019s ever felt pissed off about anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

An unrelenting slab of old-school thrash that showcases\u00a0RAZOR’s<\/strong>\u00a0encyclopedic knowledge of the past along with Carlo\u2019s growth as a songwriter, player, and lyricist,\u00a0Cycle of Contempt<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is here to show that\u00a0RAZOR\u00a0<\/strong>are as dominating as ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
