Hailing from the depths of Vilnius, Lithuania Night Slasher are the exponents of true speed metal madness. Their debut self-titled offering to the metal gods is pure unadulterated metal majesty.
Night Slasher is musical devastation, with an ear for the early European speed metal masters (before it became thrash), every track on this album is a brief unbridled musical attack that pulses with pure raw energy, frenzied yet always focused. Musical influences are apparent but the blistering power of ‘’Pit of Hate’’ is unmissable with its fury and time changes. ‘’Tower ‘’ might start slow with doom-infected vibes before it sets off on its own mid-tempo assault that is relentless. Night slasher if fast using real speed, with manic solos and the pure eighties voice of Laurynas Karka that commands his heathens to battle on the power that is ‘’ Black Trip’’’ and the classic heavy metal that is ‘’ ”Clyster Lizard”. “Liver Ripper’’ carries a Sabbath-esque feeling whilst eternal hails must go to Juozapas Bočkus’ and his constant frenzied guitar work.
Music for maniacs and those who love true Heavy Metal Night Slasher is a raw speed-infused frenzy of a trip through the darkness and pure hate-fueled aggression. It remembers the annals and the proud history that is true metal and creates pure metal for those who are true!
