So this video was released back in January of this year along with their new album “The North Star” and I must say that it is a heavy hitter.

Having initially formed in 1992 as simply Outrage, the band released 2 independent releases by 1995 when they sadly broke up.

On this debut the Canadian band apportion some classic thrash metal, with touches of crossover and groove metal. The 8-song full-length brings to mind mid-paced thrashers Thresher as well as Overkill, Bloody Cross, Detritus and Ultimatum. Their mostly-shouted vocals (hence the nod to Scott Waters of Ultimatum) occasionally employ a bit of death growls as well.… Continued →
