“DESCENT INTO DARKNESS” FULL LENGTH FROM WRAITH OUT NOW ON PROSTHETIC RECORDS!

Descent Into Darkness is at once uncompromising and undeniable. Lauds Sonic Perspectives, “The world of violence and horror that it builds in 35 minutes of time is vivid enough to rival a full-length feature film, and no self-respecting extreme thrash fan worth their salt will want to miss this premier.” Metal Epidemic concurs, “Beyond the sheer speed, Descent Into Darkness excels in its execution. The production strikes a tight balance as it retains the raw hostility of blackened thrash while benefiting from a clear mix that gives every bass line room to rumble and every kick drum real weight, without losing any guitar or vocal power.” Adds Meat Mead Metal, “the band… ravages with blackened thrash, feeling like a more acidic Motörhead in spots, bruising with grim fury in every spot. The rage and disgust watching the human race fall on its face matches the pace of the music, which can easily leave you bruised.”

With WRAITH, what you see is what you get. Favoring focus and fire over frills and flash, the Indiana quartet – Matt Sokol (vocals, guitar), Jason Schultz (guitar), Chris Petkus (bass), and Mike Szymendera (drums) – summons the speed of old-school thrash through a prism of 21st century extreme metal accelerated at a breakneck pace. The Midwest-bred outfit allows the riffs, solos, furious beats, and haunting lyrics to speak on their behalf, conjuring imagery with the high-octane action of a big-screen historical epic.
