THE AGE OF ENTITLEMENT

Vinyl LP pressing. 2019 release, the first album in 29 years from the thrash metal legends. aeT.A.O.EAE is a pounding introduction, along with the incendiary aeThe New LowAE showing the serious intent of this reboot. "H" really gives it what for over the crisp, crunching riffage and NWOBHM inspired duality of Dean oCookyo Cook and Paul Chanter, before the venomous aggressor ae#NewAgeNarcissistAE thunders along to the bass of Pete Dee and skin pummelling from Marc Jackson. This album is unequivocally, aggressively intrusive. From the punky vitality of Suzanne VegaAEs aeBlood Makes NoiseAE and the Justice era Metallica thrasher aeHardshipAE, to the breakneck-paced aeRipped ApartAE; every track screams out how far Acid Reign has come in terms of maturity, as "H" gives the modern world a vitriolic tongue lashing.
