If you are an avid reader of this webzine and do not miss a review, you will certainly remember the Singaporeans FYRAUN. Their first full-length “Kings Ov Kings” is an explosion of Death / Thrash that leaves no prisoners. If you are a fan of the raw and unrelenting sound that characterised extreme Metal between 1985 and 1990, get ready for a sonic journey that will make you relive those glorious years. From the first notes, it is clear that FYRAUN have a clear idea: to combine the aggressiveness of Death Metal with the precision and speed of Thrash. The album embraces an aesthetic that seems inspired by ancient Egypt, evident in the intro and outro, adding a touch of mystery to an already impressive sound. This conceptual theme blends perfectly with the intensity of the music. The vocal performance comes straight into your face, perfectly embodying the spirit of the most authentic Death / Thrash. The guitars offer surprising variety. There are riffs that hit you like a runaway train and more intricate sections that show the band’s versatility, as we had already appreciated when reviewing their first EP. The solos are really sharp and straight to the point. The transitions between the different sections of the tracks are masterfully executed, keeping the listener engaged and preventing the sound from becoming monotonous. Despite its aggressiveness, “Kings Ov Kings” never sounds chaotic or directionless. Each element is in its place, contributing to a coherent and powerful listening experience. The tracks are well structured and never give the impression of repetition. A great attention to performance and composition is perceived, making this album a real treat for lovers of the genre. In summary, “Kings Ov Kings” is a brilliant release for anyone who appreciates old school style Death / Thrash. It is an album that offers a phenomenal experience, capturing the essence of a golden age of extreme Metal with a surprising freshness. Pleasantly impressed that the premises of “The Birth Of Vengeance” are confirmed in a big way!
