Evil Killer-Lethal Assault

Eventhink Metal Records
2015

Does anyone else remember the Spanish metal band Evil Killer? They self-released a demo in 2013 which had me thinking a lot about San Fran's Death Angel. Or rather about how much this particular quartet sounded like a poor man's Death Angel. It wasn't a bad thing. It was more or less just an observation. Well, here it is 2016 and I just discovered that this quartet released a full-length album back in March of last year. I suppose that means happy birthday wishes are in order. With that said, Happy 1st Birthday "Lethal Assault"! My how you've grown!! OK, it's time to get back to being a little bit more serious as this album is hardly a laughing matter. Limited to a mere 500 CD copies, "Lethal Assault", which was preceded a month earlier by the hard-hitting single "Midnight Assassin", greatly improves upon that 2013 recording and finds these speed metal-tinged thrashers stepping out into their own. The aptly-titled "Lethal Assault" finds Evil Killer unleashing a nice brand of metal that is equal parts mid-eighties/early nineties speed/thrash (which is great!) and modern day thrash (which is good). Lead by vocalist/guitarist Mikel Aznarez (ex-Rising Sun), Evil Killer already has the all the necessary tools in their possession to make a serious go at things so let's all hope that this mosh-worthy LP is just the first of many!

Evil Killer-Demo 2013

Self-Release
2013

This is another free demo that seems to be making the rounds through various metal blogs. Not much to go on with this one I'm afraid. The band appears to be from Spain and play some effective speed metal. For whatever reason they reminded me of a poor man's Death Angel, but I'm sleep deprived so what do I know? Check 'em out for yourself below if your looking for something new.
