Thrash metal with much more aggression and energy that has been desperately needed in thrash recently. Undeniably, the guitar work steals the show on War Remains. At any point through the 10 tracks, you are knocked out of your seat by just how good the shredding is. The vocals are crushing without ever giving out and this is well-written thrash. Not trope-filled anger and conflict. War Remains is an album that goes by in a flash even when you go back to play songs. Hanged By My Hand and Mercy Killing Field were two I went back to right away when hearing them. Even in the slower moments when the groove is more established, those moments feel like they still belong. It’s a significant thrash album that doesn’t play around and isn’t bloated. An aggressive menace of an album for sure. 9/10
