KING ABYSS - SNAKE OIL (CROSSOVER THRASH/HARDCORE, REVIEW, INDEPENDENTLY RELEASED 2/24/23)
Originally posted around early Feb, 2023. Updated for the Bog. Instantly accessible album, Bog fell deeper and deeper whilst forgetting the time. The title track ' Snake Oil ' easily belongs in a Mad Max movie with thunderous riffs churning up a maelstrom of smoke and sand, whilst Max drives away incredibly quick to catch an episode of post apoc golf. King Abyss play a style of thrash rooted in the forebearers, but with recent purveyors of thrash metal. Disdain displays a nice melodic edge both vocally and musically, highlighting there is much more to the band members creativity. It was a song certainly growing on Bog and is one of those hidden stand outs not to be overlooked A Short Drop And A Sudden Stop takes up the pace again with a thrash/metallic hardcore feel. Eyes Always Watching returns to the heavy hardcore/beatdown hardcore influence at the start of the song, then transitions to thrash riffage, but retains the hardcore vibe. Bog enjoyed Snake Oi...
