Darkness – Death Squad (CD)

Darkness – Death Squad captures the raw intensity of 1980s thrash metal with unpolished energy and authentic aggression. This album showcases the band's mastery of classic metal riffing paired with a powerful rhythm section, delivering tracks like "Terror for Terror" with its commanding presence and "Burial at Sea," which opens with an acoustic passage before building into a compelling mid-tempo assault. The seven-minute epic "Predetermined Destiny" demonstrates remarkable versatility, balancing breakneck speed with measured dynamics. A successful fusion of the band's established sound and fresh material, this CD stands as a defining example of thrash metal's golden era essential for collectors and enthusiasts of uncompromising heavy music.
