DEKAPITED (Chile) Since Misericordia MCD. 2017. THANATOLOGY Recs.


I heard a previous demo of this thrash metal band, it was the "Contra iglesia y estado" tape from 2001, and I was averagely interested because the cassette contained something like a quite cleaner, quite often mid-paced thrash with a bay area influence.
Now I'm reviewing their last Ep from 2017 and... Oh! Surprise! The style is more interesting: Faster and rawer thrash metal, with more tremolo guitars and some technical touches from here & there. It reminds me of old KREATOR (Rather "Terrible certainty"), MERCILESS (Swe), some old EXODUS, some POSSESSED, some DARKNESS (Ger), with a black and death metal touch here & there.
Well, it's not all aggressive bestial thrash, some elements of "bay area" remain and this is more musical than the usual "AAARRRGH" ripp-fests, but this is not a problem.
DEKAPITED is now quite well balanced between the various styles and sounds better (For me) than their older demo. Nice thrashing improvement.
