W.M.D. – Against All Warnings Review By Grin ReaperSince opining on thrash metal’s 2026 resurgence in Nukem’s The Grave Remains review, a steady stream of thrash clans have continued to trickle into the promo sump. Next up is Vancouver power trio W.M.D.,1 short for When Minds Develop. Formed in 2015, W.M.D. unleashed debut Lethal Revenge in 2018 before losing all but one of their founding members—guitarist and vocalist Skyler Mills. After recruiting bassist Jon Power and drummer Ryan Idris in 2023, this wrecking crew set to write and record their sophomore opus Against All Warnings. Eight years is a long time between albums, and turning over nearly the entire band can radically shift its dynamics. Has W.M.D. cleared these hurdles and incubated weapons of thrash destruction, or do they deliver a new album Against All Warnings?
W.M.D. plays thrash the way the old school intended—breakneck and direct. Against All Warnings mostly reminds me of East Coast acts, specifically Overkill and Anthrax, due to the in-your-face attitude, low-frills precision, and spirited bass spunk. Although these benchmarks are most immediate, subtler influences surface by way of Megadethian technicality and razor-sharp riffing à la classic Exodus. I’d also be remiss not to mention Hyperia, which currently features Mills and Power while hosting Idris as their live drummer. Regardless, W.M.D. absorbs the thrash that came before and forges it into a sound all their own—and it rips.
Taking crossover’s blistering speeds and supercharging them with riveting performances, Against All Warnings rams oodles of riffs, grooves, and rolls into forty engrossing minutes. I’m a sucker for bass presence, and W.M.D. packs enough beef to induce a weeklong case of the meat sweats. Jon Power discharges his burly low-end throughout Against All Warnings, bouncing and clanging with the vim and vigor of Verni or DiGiorgio (“Kleptomania,” “The Thin Red Line”). Idris rounds out the rhythm section, nimbly whipsawing across the kit as he maneuvers through full-throttle barrages (“Against All Warnings,” “Painful Vengeance”), half-time chugs (“The Thin Red Line,” “Already Dead”), and herky-jerky stutter stops (“Post Human Predator”). Mills takes on the rest, laying down barbed hooks (“The Black Expanse”) and snotty vocals that recall Lich King and Havok. As the cherry on top, guests Casey Trask (“Post Human Predator,” “Painful Vengeance”) and Kai Sakaguchi (“Against All Warnings”) contribute scorching solos, ensuring there’s never a dearth of pyrotechnics. In all, there’s no weak link in the chain, and Against All Warnings bristles with thrashy vitality.
Nearly as impressive as W.M.D.’s onslaught is their elusion of critical flaws. Against All Warnings sidesteps major pitfalls as W.M.D. navigates the treacherous channels of thrash, dancing along the knife’s edge between the genre’s primary criticisms: unoriginal and retreaded compositions and unserious stylings. Rather, the trio plays infectiously vibrant metal with utter conviction, and I’m here for every second of it. This doesn’t mean the album is perfect, however, and some fine-tuning would elevate Against All Warnings even higher. First, penultimate track “Already Dead” lingers at the end, which would be more palatable if it were the finale. Instead, after a slightly prolonged fade of thunder, we’re given “Painful Vengeance.” Switching the order of these tracks or pushing “Painful Vengeance” even earlier would work better. Also, while the production is warm and organic, the album plays a little too quietly. It’s not an issue if I’m only listening to Against All Warnings, but its songs are noticeably muted when thrown into a playlist with other material. Still, these complaints prove minor quibbles compared to the indisputable boom W.M.D. unleashes.
Thrash detractors may not be convinced by Against All Warnings, but they should be. It’s impossible to deny the energy and conviction coursing through W.M.D.’s balls-out blitz, where relentless speeds, head-banging hooks, and rousing choruses embody W.M.D.’s full-tilt bonanza. Against All Warnings ensconces itself as the best thrash album I’ve heard so far in 2026,2 and sets a high bar for the rest of the year. Somebody ought to sign these Canucks, because they’re peddling a potent brew that’s guaranteed to please, Warnings be damned.

In 1964, the US Government tasked three civilian #physics postdocs with designing a #nuclear #weapon from scratch. Thus was born the #NthCountryProject: an experiment to determine just how easily other nations could independently complete their own #ManhattanProject.

CW: War, Atomic weapons
⬆️ @DrJay
>> With chaos possible in Iran, who will ensure its highly enriched uranium does not fall into the hands of rogue actors?
#Iran does not have enriched #uranium (in meaningful quantity anyway), and it does not have #atomicbomb either. These are old lies from #Israel and #UnitedStates.
Remember how #ColinPowell lied for #GeorgeWBush to the #UN by fabricating "evidence" of #WMD in #SaddamHussein's #Iraq?

Barack Obama reached a deal with Iran that prevented them from getting a nuclear weapon.
Trump ripped up that deal.
Now we're at war with Iran, to prevent them from getting a nuclear weapon.

President Trump, at the lunch before the State of the Union address, is reported to have stated to White House correspondents,
“Iran wants to make a deal more than I do, but they just won’t say the secret phrase: We won’t build nuclear weapons”.
Is he fucking real?

From attacking Iran to saving the people of Iran and the regime change, to building up the moment with lies to go back to the WMD style of propaganda lies like the Iraq invasion.

Bądźmy poważni, to czystka a nie zdrada
Jeżeli trzeba się pozbyć kogoś wpływowego, to trzeba go oskarżyć o jakieś obrzydliwe zbrodnie, co spowoduje, że jego poplecznicy odwrócą się od niego. Na Zachodzie to pedofilia, ale w tym systemie ta nikogo nie obchodzi, w przeciwieństwie do zdrady tajemnic wrogowi.

And ... AGAIN ... people are trotting out the lie that "no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq".
YES THEY WERE.
We collected 5,000 unreported Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) in Iraq. They were chemical weapons (which the international treaty that establishes what counts as WMD states includes chemical weapons).
The warheads were collected and stored in a facility that was seized by ISIS in 2014.
It's unfortunate that this lie is being repeated by the U.S. News Media almost every day as they talk about the Trump administration's lies.
The Bush administration made some mistakes but their national intelligence assessment DID accurately project that we would find thousands of chemical warheads AND hundreds of tons of yellowcake uranium in Iraq.
