HELLBRINGER - Awakened From The Abyss LP (SPLATTER)
With their debut album Australian black-thrashers Hellbringer have established themselves as a force to be reckoned with; their take on Aussie thrash has been described as “Iron Angel on speed”. Four years after the release “Dominions of Darkness” via High Roller Records, the Canberra-based crew has a new full-length album on offer, a slab of thrashing darkness going by the promising name “Awakened from the Abyss”.
Hellbringer’s debut has been praised a lot for its “Hell Awaits”-sound-a-like qualities; and the new record again pays some tribute to Slayer, Possessed plus Sodom, Kreator und Destruction as important influences. That makes total sense as they’re a lot more Teutonic-tinged than most other Australian bands.
