From my hometown local heroes Repent emit Bay Area influenced thrash metal with hardcore style vocals.
Fast and hard, straight forward and no bullshit.
Founded in 1992 they have recorded four albums so far. Vortex of Violence is their best effort IMO.
These guys are kind of hidden champions. It’s a shame they don’t play live so often.
This has a fantastic sound I would've been all over growing up, kinda reminds me of a dirtier The Crown from Sweden lol. Actually when it's just the main dude performing his vocal abilities, it really is like a mix between Randy Blythe from Lamb of God and Johan Lindstrand!
Shame about them not being on Tidal :/
If you are into CDs or vinyl, you can still get them (vinyl would be used of course). And you can buy the album on Bandcamp for 8€ I think.
Don’t know whether they are on any other streaming platform, I only use tidal and sometimes Bandcamp.
Yeah, the singer really does the trick IMO.
I missed their last concert (support gig for Tankard), but my wife was there and she enjoyed it.
