Alright, maggots! The infamous Angry Metal Guy has spoken, and the verdict is in on Stress Test. Are they the next big thing in face-melting metal, or just another bunch of noise-polluting posers? We're diving headfirst into the carnage to see if their latest release is worth the goddamn stress. Let's break it down, shall we? You can check the original review by Dolphin Whisperer on AngryMetalGuy.com.

Dolphin Whisperer reviewed the band's album "Stress Test", describing it as a mix of hardcore, thrash, and grind. The album is short and punchy, showcasing the experience of the band's members, especially those from Unto Others. While the music relies on familiar riffs, it maintains a steady momentum through welcome variations. The reviewer notes that the brevity of the tracks can limit the album's overall impact. Nevertheless, he considers "Stress Test" to be a solid debut album that shows promise for the band's future, giving it a score of 3 out of 5. Released on February 28, 2025 by Transylvanian Recordings, the album is available on various digital outlets.

Randy Rampage Death: When the Stage Lights Dimmed Forever The metal world got sucker-punched when news broke of Randy Rampage death in August 2018. This wasn't just another rockstar casualty - this was the extinguishing of a human powder keg who helped forge thrash metal's rebellious DNA. At 58, the Annihilator/D.O.A. frontman left behind a legacy of chaos and riffs that still rattle club walls from Vancouver to Vladivostok. Rampage didn't just sing about anarchy - he lived it.
