The style combines Speed Metal, hooligan mannerism and sonority of Hair Metal, and constructive melody of Heavy Metal. Sometimes it cuts your ears with certain moments related to vocals and the general sound palette, but the guys play so sincerely that you don't pay attention to it. The best tracks are performed in ANIMALIZE's native language, and they are just perfect!  I recommend starting with them right away.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 688px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2355638997\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=e99708\/package=1489434699\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/animalizeband.bandcamp.com\/album\/tapes-from-the-crypt\">Tapes From The Crypt by ANIMALIZE<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>HELLCRASH &#8211; Demonic Assassination<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Year:<\/span> 2023<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Label:<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dying-victims.de\/\">Dying Victims Productions<\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Rating:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">6,7\u00a0\/ 10<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Traditional speed-thrash metal, very similar first of all to VENOM, and then to BULLDOZER (obviously, because the band is Italian!).

This time they offer an impenetrably depressing piece based on long slow compositions in the style of BURZUM, WIGRID, DROWNING THE LIGHT. The music will slowly roll in a loose circle through the black mud until it hooks you and pulls you into the swamp of despair. Familiar, but still a very strong impression. In addition, the album has a serious concept of self-arousal through pain, so there's nothing shameful in listening to it!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 688px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2082704704\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=ffffff\/package=2389132692\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/signalrex.bandcamp.com\/album\/anthems-of-mournful-despondency\">Anthems of Mournful Despondency by GRYMMSTALT<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>86-\u044b \u0432\u044b\u043f\u0443\u0441\u043a \u043a\u0430\u0440\u043e\u0442\u043a\u0456\u0445 \u0430\u0433\u043b\u044f\u0434\u0430\u045e.
