Our Take

Cryptic Slaughter's latest offering, "Stream Of Consciousness," is a whirlwind of thrashy goodness that will leave listeners headbanging till next Tuesday.

From the moment the first track kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. The band's signature blend of speed, aggression, and technical prowess is on full display, with each member delivering top-notch performances that will make you question if they've made a deal with the devil.

Lead vocalist Bill Crooks' snarling delivery cuts through the chaos like a knife through butter, delivering dark and cryptic lyrics that will leave you questioning your own existence.

The album's production is raw and unpolished, giving it a gritty edge that adds to the overall intensity of the music. Each riff and solo cuts through the mix like a razor blade, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.

Standout tracks include the breakneck speed of "Nuclear Future" and the crushing groove of "Black and White," which showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend different elements of thrash and punk into a cohesive sonic assault.

Overall, "Stream Of Consciousness" is a relentless, uncompromising beast of an album that will satisfy even the most discerning metalhead. Cryptic Slaughter have once again proven why they are legends in the thrash metal scene, and this album is a testament to their enduring power and influence.

About the artist

Cryptic Slaughter

CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER are the enigmatic force of nature that the thrash metal scene didn't know it needed. Hailing from California, this band burst onto the scene in the mid-1980s with their ferocious speed, blistering riffs, and relentless energy. Imagine if a tornado made entirely of angry bees decided to form a band - that's CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER in a nutshell. Their sound is chaotic, raw, and utterly electric, with frontman Bill Crooks' vocals cutting through the chaos like a knife through butter. While other thrash bands were content to stick to the tried and tested formula, CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER were always pushing the boundaries of what was considered acceptable in the genre. Their lyrics were dark, politically charged, and often downright bizarre - but somehow, it all worked. Their debut album, "Convicted," is a blistering masterpiece of thrash metal mayhem, with tracks like "M.A.D." and "Nuclear Future" cementing their status as one of the most exciting bands in the scene. And their live shows? Good luck trying to keep up with the mosh pit. After a brief hiatus in the '90s, CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER returned in 2003 to the delight of fans old and new. Their legacy as one of the pioneers of crossover thrash is secure, and their influence can be felt in countless bands that have followed in their wake. In a world of pretenders and posers, CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER stand tall as the real deal. So crank up the volume, grab a beer, and prepare to have your face melted off - this is thrash metal at its finest.
