Hellcrash – Inferno Crematörio Review
By Kenstrosity
Whenever I’m reviewing a retro style of metal, my first consideration is where I draw the line that separates pure worship from a fresh take on a well-worn method. Which then begs a follow-up: how much does it really matter? When Italian blackened speed metal banshees Hellcrash rose from the brimstone to grace me with its presence, I found myself immediately skipping the first query to then ruminate on the second. In the end, how detrimental is it to my enjoyment or appreciation that something new sounds like it was plucked from the seediest underbelly of the 80s metal scene? I read every day how ravenously even younger metalheads yearn for this kind of material, after all. I never considered myself an official member of that camp, at least not strictly speaking. However, as Hellcrash’s third LP Inferno Crematörio drags its scalding claws salaciously across my suddenly restrained body and exposed skin, those same carnal cravings for sleazy olden metal overwhelm my every sense.
Imagine Venom at their speediest and sloppiest. Electrify that base with the devilish wiles of Bütcher and fortify its boiling blood with the ripping guitar work of Razor and Bulldozer, and char it with a smoky production. As a final touch, sprinkle a decidedly punk-driven attitude that whispers unsweet nothings into every aspect of this material, from performance to riffcraft to production. That’s Inferno Crematörio. To call it “speed” renders an understated image of the exuberance and vibrancy of its content. Flying at twice the speed of metal, Inferno Crematörio immolates everything before it with raucous lead guitar work, stupid-fast bass pummeling, thunderous machine-gun riffs, vomitous rasps dripping with demonic lust, and organic percussion that collectively transports me to 1986 while reminding me why classic metal will never die.
At a tight and taut 37 minutes, Inferno Crematörio blasts by in a flash, but leaves a distinct brand upon the brain in its wake. Immediately striking, opening suite “Flames of Hades” and “Inferno Crematörio” encapsulates with much gusto what the rest of the record has in store. Riffs that rip the flesh off my face faster than I can scream “HAIL SATAN” blaze across the soundscape hotly enough to melt it to glass. Meanwhile, late highlight “Mark of the Beast” showcases an additional dynamic in Hellcrash’s sound, utilizing that punk-like sharpness to raise the budding hair on my back into a decidedly hazardous mohawk-like formation. Catchy numbers “Black Fire Demon,” “Purgatory Raiders,” and “Rapid Possession” forge a fine, but accessible weapon of speedy riffs and screaming solos that deeply evoke that classic Razor edge, maximizing Inferno Crematörio’s nasty fun factor. Even the slightly slower, and consequently longer, “Oathbreaker” impresses with smoking riffs, leads, and bells colliding in horrifying unity as crackling rasps spew their demonic utterances into my ear.
As you might imagine, Hellcrash are at their best when keeping those revs high and the throttle at full bore. At the same time, those unfamiliar with this style could have a hard time keeping up. As much as I yearn to call this a skill issue on the listener’s part, the fact remains that some of this material can bleed together or pass by entirely if that listener isn’t paying attention. Hellcrash smartly implemented brief moments (like the transition separating the end of “Black Fire Demon” from the start of “Purgatory Raiders”) where the pace shifts, resets, and rebuilds in order to give listeners at least a snowball’s chance in hell of staying on track. However, there are a few nooks and crannies in those transitions that break continuity and flow too much, introducing a somewhat disjointed rubber-band effect to the affair—you might notice this in otherwise killer track “Sword of Baphomet.” As a final nitpick, I respect Hellcrash for attempting a Bütcher-esque epic in ten-minute closer “Templar’s Curse,” but unfortunately, it merely highlights all of Inferno Crematörio’s weak points. Though fun for a while, and still brimming with stellar guitar work, its rocky pacing and overextended segments make it a bit of a slog to get through.
Regardless, Inferno Crematörio is a rollicking time full of fun, sleaze, and hellfire. It’s not perfect, and of course pays great reverence to its inspirations of olde. And yet, that doesn’t really make that much of a difference to me today. Hellcrash gave me everything I needed, everything I wanted, and even a little more with Inferno Crematörio.

Phantom – Tyrants of Wrath Review
By Tyme
Vampires and castles and axes, oh my! In addition to a love for the video game Castlevania, these are some of the favorite things for Guadalajara, Mexico’s Phantom, reflected in the cool Meagan Lemay cover art. I had a fair amount of fun with Phantom‘s 2023 debut album, Handed to Execution. It’s a tasty little slab of thrashy speed metal that took me back to the halcyon days of Kill ‘Em All Metallica and Show No Mercy Slayer. When I saw Phantom‘s follow-up, Tyrants of Wrath, floating around in the sump pit, I waded into Castle de AMG’s mucky moat, battling tentacled meanies and dodging Grier‘s skid mark-ruined speedos to retrieve it. I was eager to find out if Tyrants of Wrath would fill me with war lust and have me storming the gates or leave me non-plussed and in my cups, lazily slumped next to a fire.
Tyrants of Wrath sounds straight out of 1985 and finds Phantom tweaking the more straightforward formula used on Handed to Execution. Carryover traces of early Metallica and Slayer, with some Kreator and Razor bits thrown in for good measure, remain intact as forays into trad-metal, second-wave black metal, and atmospheric organ/piano interludes attempt to expand Phantom‘s overall sonicscape. JC Necrohex and Harel Mortem fly across fretboards in flurries of furious riffs and chaotic lead work, imbuing early tracks like “The Tower of Seth” and “Violent Invasion” with raw, thrashy, speed metal intensity that lands just this side of completely unhinged. The chorus to the Midnight-fueled banger “Thunderbeast” will have you pounding your chest, eager to make war, not love. JC’s vocals remain on point for the style, pairing blackened growls ala Kreator‘s Endless Pain-era Ventor mixed with high-pitched screams that would put a smile on Tom Araya’s face. Rair Tavizon provides pounding bass lines, and JP Alatorre rounds out the rhythm section, turning in a serviceable drum performance that mostly corrals Phantom‘s chaotic acrobatics, but not always. With more expansive songwriting and experimentation, Tyrants of Wrath is the product of a young band broadening its musical horizons.
The ambition of Phantom‘s vision exceeds the resources available to execute it successfully. While the front edge of Tyrants‘ sword does positive damage, holes in the castle’s defenses start to show when “Nimbus” rolls around. Meant as a traditional nod toward old-school influences like Manilla Road and Heavy Load, the track suffers from weak instrumentation—its strongest pulse some Maiden-esque dual guitar leads—and clean vocals that never stretch from their narrow baritone range, hobbling with broken wings, a track meant to soar like an eagle. Add in the amateurish, Egyptian-tinged “Lost in the Sands,” where the guitars and drums fall entirely out of sync and distract rather than charm, to the very awkwardly performed, ill-flowing piano interlude “Nocturnal Opus 666,” and it’s clear Phantom is unable to stretch far enough to fulfill Tyrants of Wrath‘s intended goal.
With a runtime of just over forty-eight minutes, Tyrants of Wrath is far from the brevity of Handed to Execution, which is disappointing because the unrealized gains of Phantom‘s experimentation lead to this bloat. That’s not to say every experiment fails, as the spooky intro, spunky-punk bass, and tremolo strumming of “Dance of the Spiders” works in a mostly non-Phantom way, and closer “Dark Wings of Death,” an excellent amalgamation of speed-thrashy chugs and trad-heavy, war horse galloping riffs make for a trver representation of what an evolved Phantom is capable of. I’m happy my active listening of “Dark Wings of Death” allowed me to reach that conclusion since, sadly, the fatigue I felt during my initial, traditionally linear listening sessions left me apathetic to this last song’s successful charms.
Phantom is a fun and very young band, which works in their favor as they continue to evolve and find their footing. Handed to Execution was a nostalgically compelling and raucously promising debut. While I think Tyrants of Wrath, despite its expansive intentions, sees Phantom take a step back, there’s a lot to look forward to as well. I commend these youngsters for having the courage to look beyond the relative success of their previous effort to do something exactly as they want. There are glimpses on Tyrants of Wrath of what a more mature third Phantom outing could sound like, and you can bet I’ll be there to listen to it.

On the other hand, it has successfully built out a model and some #razor files that create, edit, and view a character. Including removing a bunch of irrelevant D&D style stuff and adding a bunch of things that are relevant to our custom #ttrpg system.
It has also incrementally added features as I've requested, and moved things around in the UI.
