Wraith is the latest U.K. export to hit my doorstep. Following on solid releases from Rot in Hell, Deal With It, and Dirty Money, the scene over there is starting to look rather promising again.
While only a band for a year, Wraith has already built a massive following. And when you listen to this 7" you'll know just why. This four-song 7" is filled to the brim with a thundering concoction of metal and d-beat hardcore. The guitars are caustic, the drums are devastating, and the vocals are demonic. Wraith combines the best parts of Cursed, Tragedy, and Rise and Fall all into one.
Wraith is a stellar debut, one that I keep coming back to for repeated listens. It would not surprise me to see this band end up on Deathwish in the near future.
