Moribund Records has announced May 23 as the release date for Waxen’s new album, High Plains Bloodlust. Check out the track, “Black Nitrite”, below, and pre-order the CD here.
Waxen delivers skillfully played blackened thrash metal with strong true metal leanings and the undercurrent of black metal, drenched in Toby Knapp’s trademark neo-classical shred-mastery.
Waxen’s seventh album, High Plaines Bloodlust, see’s Toby Knapp bringing a much more melodic approach to their normal rough and raw black thrash metal sound. The album is loaded with traditional thrash metal riffing that transforms into black metal shredding, then oscillates towards a neo-classical heavy metal solo or segments of brutal death metal tremolo. Toby Knapp’s innovative and eclectic style and talent for writing real songs surpasses and sets him apart from all other shredders, and catapults Waxen to the forefront of the US black thrash metal scene.
Tracklisting:
“Battle Of One Hundred Slain”
“A Horse Named Fear”
“Hadamar”
