IREFULL – Agents Of Doom / VINYL LP

At a time when the old guard of thrash and speed metal politico all appear in service to the ruling class as they reach retirement age it is refreshing to see folks still addicted to their music’d never lost sight of the bigger picture. In the case of Palermo, Sicily-based thrash metal quartet IREFUL we can see the universal truths of the powers that be and the actions that’d shaped the state of the world today within their decidedly authentic ‘old school’ thrash metal debut full-length album. That isn’t to say that ‘Agents of Doom‘ is an outright political themed album, in fact they’re definitely the type to have some fun with it along the way, but rather that their whole deal understands and worships the viably defiant spirit of the sub-genre and this shows in every aspect of this presentation. If you’re already familiar with the band and saw promise in their first EP no doubt you’ll find a serious record making good on that potential with a concise but memorable statement herein.
