Raging Violence

Katon W. de Pena is a true metal lifer – legend has it that, like Judge Dredd with his helmet, he never removes his battle jacket. Even in the shower. Not that crossover thrash often gets associated with routine bathing. Howling about war and demons and more war over mostly-competent speedcore, de Pena keeps things interesting by switching between normal singing and out-of-control King Diamond falsetto shrieks at totally unexpected moments. Half an hour of the same pit-stirring song: primordial thrash at its finest.
