Thrash has enjoyed a solid year thus far…Whether your poison has included the head-spinning technical fireworks of Cryptic Shift, the sprightly horns-up gallop of Kreator’s inspired latest, lean, mean death-thrash of Nuclear Tomb, hard-hitting punch of Furi Helium, or rabidly nasty old school battering of Desolus, the legendary genre where many a metalhead cut their teeth has been on a solid streak. My issue with the modern thrash scene is the lack of genuinely exciting outfits releasing standout material, especially when stacked up to other preferred genres, such as the embarrassment of riches of the current death metal scene. Arriving with their full-length debut of retro-inspired modern thrash, UK outfit Imperium unleash debut album Exodus Unknown. Does this fledgling crew contain the songwriting powers and instrumental chops to stand out from the pack?

First up, Imperium boast a pretty cool though not particularly original sound, wrapping chunky modern production values and tight performances with a very palatable, ear-friendly brand of hard rock-infused, hook-laden thrash and modern groove metal. Featuring a retro thrash charm and broad influences recalling the likes of Testament, Metallica and the groove-meets-thrash metal crunch of Pantera amongst other touchstones. Imperium place emphasis on anthemic hooks, bright melodies, chunky riffs, and lashings of more involving, thrashy speed. Opening one-two punch of “Hell and High Water” and “Exodus Unknown” whips a tasty storm of early album momentum and boundless energy. The former features an urgent pulse, earworm chorus, and impressive axe pyrotechnics, creating a punchy, infectious initial impact. Meanwhile, the title track follows suit, though takes a groovier path across a slightly drawn-out nearly six-minute thrash fest. Some questionable lyrics aside, it’s a dynamic and well-composed track, showcasing Imperium’s melodic tricks and technical chops.

Imperium keep the album length at a reasonably efficient 45 minutes, wisely not overstaying their welcome despite the fact some tactful editing may have been a welcome advantage. Leaning into their groovy tendencies and penchant for infectious choruses, and featuring the slick melodicism and solo work of lead guitarist Hardip Sagoo, the chunky “Unstoppable” and album centerpiece “The Gun” both feature their rousing, hooky moments and bouncy grooves. On the flipside, both tunes could use trimming, with ‘The Gun” in particular slogging past its welcome across an overly drawn-out eight-plus minutes. It is a recurring songwriting theme which detracts from the album’s notable strengths. Weaving more dynamic structural and tempo twists into the compositions and striking a keener balance between their heavily utilized mid-paced, groovier elements and higher-octane thrashy sections would be welcome songwriting tweaks. Unfortunately, the overcooked songwriting and extra flab on the aforementioned songs create a mid-album lull in speed and sharper songwriting efficiency.

Momentum pleasingly picks up for late album bangers “Hangman” and “Tread the Serpent,” both featuring solid riffcraft, catchy hooks and urgent, thrashier pacing. Exodus Unknown wraps in disappointingly sedate fashion courtesy of the atmospheric closing power ballad ‘The End,” concluding things with more of a whimper than the desired bang. Qualms aside, Imperium pack tons of energy, tight, quality musicianship, and solid riffs into their groove-centric, retro-tinged modern thrash, and performances are on point. The dual axe work lands more often than it misses the mark, though certain segments and riffs hit with higher potency than the more stock or pedestrian moments. Vocally, frontman Ben Porter boasts a rough-hewn melodic sneer and weathered singing voice and knows his way around a sharp vocal hook, even if occasional clunky phrasing or cliched lyric crops up. Throwing down some more aggressive, deeper growls or screams would add some extra grit and punch to the vocal attack.

Quality thrash can be hard to find and even harder for a young band to bring something fresh and intriguing to the thrash equation. Imperium bring intriguing elements and polish to an assured and confident debut. Exodus Unknown is certainly an intriguing debut which smacks of potential for Imperium to make a bigger splash in the modern thrash scene. As it stands, their remains kinks to iron out and refining of their songwriting formula, but signs are positive Imperium have the basic tools to carve an impact on the modern thrash scene.

Metallica war gar nicht schlecht, aber Pantera war richtig super!!!! 🎸🤘 #metal #pantera #Frankfurt #Metallica

Once, punk ruled my heart as jealously as metal. I loved the heart-in-hand abandon and DIY ethos of acts like Rise Against, Social Distortion, Bad Religion, and Descendants,1 and though I still do metal nonetheless won out as my root genre. But punk and metal have always overlapped, and when the two offshoots of rock tango together, great things can happen.2 German death metallers Arroganz have been carrying out this uneasy marriage since 2008, dropping six testaments of metallic brutality and punkish rebellion over the years. Longtime bassist/vocalist -K- and drummer -T- are joined by the newcomer guitarist -B- for lucky number seven, Death Doom Punks, a declaration of purpose if there’s ever been one. I love the attitude, but an album can’t live by ‘tude alone. Will Arroganz’s infusion of punkish qualities into the death metal elevate Death Doom Punks, or will it merely spell death/doom for these punks?

Other bands have put death riffs over d-beats before, but Arroganz channel early Immolation/Death through Black Flag/Discharge-like hardcore grime in a way that feels particularly vital on Death Doom Punks. Whether through blistering speeds like on “Pain Forged Armor” or diabolical groove on “Anti-Ideology,” Arroganz’s knack for aggressive and catchy riffcraft keeps a near-constant stankface plastered over my skull. Classic death metal walking riffs meet soaring doom bass leads on “Die for Nothing,” while “Death Doom Punks” marries hardcore and doom into a gloomy, potent combo that reminded me that Caskets Open exists. Songs on Death Doom Punks are brief and intentionally simple, but hear the spider-y basslines on “Earth’s Final Dose,” the gigantic belting and bass-work over “Under Scarred Skin,” or the gnarly death march of “Spirit Arsonist” and know that Arroganz supercharged everything they wrote with everything they had. Simply, Death Doom Punks is what it says it is, and it’s awesome.

That Death Doom Punks is Arroganz’s seventh album is no surprise, as their chemistry and chops are something else. Rhythmically, Arroganz seamlessly slide into a snarling breakdown one moment on “Arsenic Breath” and throw down thrash stampedes the next on “Incubus’ Veins.” -K- is a beast of a bassist and vocalist, littering Death Doom Punks with nimble and concussive bass riffs and punk-influenced leads while bellowing throaty, acerbic condemnations of society. -B- fits Arroganz like a fingerless glove, clobbering Death Doom Punks with crushing grooves on the title track,3 gnarled and disjointed leads on “Pain Forged Armor,” and entwining leads with -K-‘s bass licks on “Arsenic Breath.” Arroganz play well together, and Death Doom Punk’s organic production and surprisingly dynamic mix make it apparent. The snare pop right, the bass warbles and clicks right, the guitar is crunchy and deep and everything sits just right in the mix. Arroganz may be no-good punks, but Death Doom Punks is clearly the product of adamant professionals and experts of their craft.

Arroganz’s most critical success is in knowing when to switch something up. Again, Death Doom Punks’ songs are on the simple side, but Arroganz shuffle through riffs, refrains, and bridges often enough to spare the listener from boredom while affording ideas enough time to settle to save themselves from riff salad. Frequent tempo shifts electrify Death Doom Punks further, spinning “Spirit Arsonist”‘s plodding bass riff into a total death metal meltdown and opening “Die for Nothing”‘s relentless show of force in the bridge for a righteous display of bass-forward doom. Conversely, the relatively static one-two combo of “Incubus’ Veins” and “Earths Final Dose” mark Death Doom Punk’s low point. Though -K-‘s screams sound more cutting than usual on “Incubus’ Veins” and “Earths Final Dose” features some slick fills from -T-, they don’t offer as much diversity as the other tracks and feel a bit one-track as a result. But that stretch is an exception to the rule of Death Doom Punks, which is largely a wild ride front-to-back.

Death Doom Punks sees ass, and it kicks it, no questions asked. I had never heard a lick of Arroganz before diving into Death Doom Punks—the title just sounded funny to me—but they’ve quickly made a fan of me over the weeks. The riffs are relentless. The hooks are huge. Did I mention the bass lines rock? Arroganz are simply a potent entity who know who they are and what they do well, and it comes through on Death Doom Punks. You should know it, too.
