CONFESSIOn - 10.20.23

Metal Sucks: …you’re thrashing, you’re moshing, you’re singing, and you’ll be doing it all over again as soon as you’re done.

Angry Metal Guy: Eradication comes down from the sky like a fucking A-bomb. Since Final Days, the band has grown into their songwriting, vocal arrangements, and their need to keep a thrash piece whole. Not only that, but you can feel the attention to detail and the painstaking execution of Eradication. And, so far, this is the Thrash Album o’ the Year.

Metal Injection: War Curse are a vicious and over the top thrash metal band, from Cincinnati, Ohio, devout in their worship of the old masters. Having opened for Exhorder all around the country, and even shared a bassist on their upcoming record, this is a band apart.

Worship Metal: This is thrash of the highest order and pisses all over the majority of albums that dare to call themselves modern thrash. With Eradication, War Curse haven’t attempted to reinvent the wheel. They have, however, unleashed an album of top quality songs, delivered with an unmatched grit and ferocity that has them standing head and shoulders above their peers and leaves them damn near untouchable. Is it too soon to name our album of the year?! 9/10

In The Pit Radio: Overall, War Curse  delivers the goods on  ‘Eradication’, and I have no reservations about giving this a 10 out of 10.  I will go on record and say that this will be in the conversation for album of the year in about nine months. I can not recommend War Curse  enough to anyone who might listen.

Cult Metal Flix: This burns with a tone which screams instant acceptance for fans of aggressive, high energy thrash. Those within the frenzied following of Forbidden, Overkill, Testament and Annihilator will have no problem whatsoever in allowing this entry into both their ears and prized audio collections. A fantastic introduction to the band and their brand of top notch, dynamic, riff heavy, thrash. 8.5/10

Dead Rhetoric: Eradication sets itself apart from the prototypical thrash album because of its intense need to inject melody/harmony passages throughout in a musically advanced matter, without pandering to the lowest common denominator. 9/10
