First Impressions are whiz-bang reviews of singles, 7″s, EPs, and LPs which are given a review after a single listen. This is a great way for TGEFM to showcase some of the releases which may not get a full review on their own.
Wormholedeath, 06 Jan 2023
Chilean thrash metal band Hell's Satans (“Simpsons” reference anyone?) have a new album on the way via Wormholedeath. Called Hell's Satans, the release is showing up 27 Jan 2023. Most other details and pre-order information is limited at the moment.
Ahead of the release, the band has dropped lead single “Amulepe taiñ weichan” and an accompanying lyric video. The song has a distinct old school heavy metal feel to the opening (I think I hear hints of Judas Priest, maybe). The lead guitar positively shreds throughout and the rhythm guitars chug along devilishly. The riffs have a real sinister edge to them and the guitar lead during the bridge around the 3-minute mark is maddeningly cool. Throughout, the bass keeps pace and the drums are set to pulverize. The only knock might be with the lead vocals. When the song began, I was caught off-guard and admittedly put-off by the clean and higher-pitched vocals. As the song went along, I did get more used to the tone and wasn't so troubled by them by the end. I don't listen to his type of stuff with any frequency, but this is done pretty decently.
