Witchtrap are a band from Columbia that has been featured before in this zine and plays a blackened mixture of thrash and speed metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Hungry As The Beast" which will be released in September by Hells Headbangers Records.
A very heavy and aggressive speed metal sound starts off the album while the vocals bring in more of a first wave black metal, Elements of thrash metal are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing and the music is heavily rooted in t he 90's.
The recording also makes a retro style sound more modern while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. When guitar solos and leads are utilzied they also remain very true to an old school extreme metal style along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and all of the music also sticks to a heavier direction.
On this recording Wirchtrap remains true to the blackened mixture of thrash and speed metal that they have established on previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism, Witchcraft and Evil themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Witchtrap and if you are a fan of black, thrash and speed metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Built For The Kill" "Heirs To The Power Of Evil" and "Cauldron of Abominations". 8 out of 10.
