INSULT "Reside Infernus" album details and video.
The second one of our April releases is the debut album of the Bristol-based hard-hitting quintet INSULT "Reside Infernus". Formed by the original ONSLAUGHT drummer, Steve Grice, and their former bassist Jase Stallard on the first two albums, they deliver thrash metal with punk influences, bursting with energy, attitude and authenticity. Its old-school analogue recording create a fresh yet nostalgic feel. Expect gritty vocals, simple yet effective riffs and driving rhythms - this album is catchy as hell! Though they don't copy any one band, you might detect echoes of early ONSLAUGHT, early METALLICA and MELIAH RAGE, as well as MOTÖRHEAD, VENOM, WARFARE and TANK, and even DISCHARGE, G.B.H. or THE EXPLOITED on the punkier side. Apart from seven original tracks, it features a re-recording of "Power from Hell" from ONSLAUGHT's 1985 first full-length, with guest vocals by Sy Keeler - the longtime, now former frontman of these British thrash legends.
The band had this to say about their work on the album and approach:
"In an era where music is increasingly shaped by the digital world, we decided to take a different path. "Reside Infernus" was produced without relying on the automated tools that many artists use today. Every riff, every lyric, every beat was crafted organically, driven by emotion, experience and a deep connection to the art of making music. The result is something that speaks with authenticity - an album that breathes and roars rather than merely exists as a by-product of technology. We hope you enjoy it."
The band's drummer, Steve Grice, prepared a music video for the title track, "Reside Infernus" - you can watch it on our YouTube channel here or embedded below.
We also uploaded another song on our YouTube ("Berserker" here), and on the INSULT page, you can listen to the third song - the single which the band released last month titled "0-60, Death or Glory". The album track list is as follows:
2. Bloodthirsty
3. 0-60, Death or Glory
4. Holy War (Sea of Tears)
5. This Life We Despise
6. Berserker
7. Broken Mind
8. Power from Hell
