Named for the second album by Canadian thrashers Razor, these Belgian speed thrashers forged an enviable live reputation and their first full CD, ‘Pulses of Pleasure’ (2015), is a balls-out thrash record.
Their music is a throwback to (mid-)80s thrash and heavy metal and is characterised by high-pitched vocals, furious riffing, face-melting solos, a rhythm section as tight as a duck’s arse and tons of aggression. Their sophomore effort ‘Feed Me Violence’ (2017) built on the momentum generated by their debut and brought more variation to the formula as the foursome continued to perfect their blend of classic thrash with a contemporary twist. The live DVD ‘Surge of Insanity’ (2019) captures the live prowess and relentless drive of this well-oiled machine and more recently, ‘In Deepest Black’, the leading single off their latest album ‘Shattering Reflection’ (2022), saw the Invaders venture into uncharted waters, broadening their horizons and helping them tap into a new demographic without betraying their origins. The album hits the sweet spot between lacerating contributions and more anthemic tracks. Evil Invaders rule the stage and they’ve given us some massive performances in the past so be there!
