Tyrants is a Colombian band that was born in 2021, and leaned completely towards Thrash Metal and there are some details Speed Metal in between, which are always naturally attached or adhered to the style; Then this band began its activities with its first album called “Kill of Die” for 2021 and then in 2024 they released their second studio album called “Warlord“, now after a year we have their third studio album called “Baptized in Blood“published independently. What will we have on this album?… Well let’s see.
Thrash Metal, a style that cannot leave the tremendous 80s in terms of bands and albums, and as has been said many times in past reviews of new albums by current bands, to find in this style and be able to get away from the common denominator a little, is to go through all the bands of the 80s, because that decade was marked by the names that now revolutionized the metal industry, that simple, which never happened again within the Thrash Metal and the last band that could awaken dreams and passions was Lamb of Godsimple and direct, the other bands are still attached to what happened in the 80s, so, now this band Tyrants with this third album “Baptized in Blood“, have Thrash Metal of a single inclination, and what gives it a different appreciation is the guttration within the album, because it has that concept of bands like Celtic Frost, Hellhammer, that more extreme side in his way of singing, or one could even say a more archaic side, being interesting details within a style that even for seconds sounds like Celtic Frost in its influences, and that is what elevates these new 38 minutes.
Since everything starts with “Baptized in Blood” and ends with “Divine Disgrace“, we have a band that went the other way Thrash Metala less explored and arcane concept in the riffs, and obviously always has its Slayer side in many parts, but as said, in songs like “Rise Your Fist” o “Slaves of Sophistry (S.O.S)” you feel that little layer of Celtic Frostand the style of singing brings or comes close to a bit of 80s Death Metal, that’s interesting to listen to disco, because they went for other influences and you secretly find new names in their music, and you feel that the band little by little wants to move away from the Thrash Metal more traditional, but that is in songs like “Sacred Lies“I still hear the classic rhythm of 80s records, but within this same song we have quasi-melodic sides, and in the next one”Nameless“They have a much more open concept that can be rock in seconds, which serves to give it a little more layers, something that works and gives versatility to the album, because within this same song there are influences Heavy MetalIn other words, Colombians were drawing on many influences, and that weighs on the future.
“Baptized in Blood” of Tyrants It is an album that presents good moments, and it feels that the band took the time to listen to more influences and place them in their main vein, which is Thrash Metal, something that works many times and in other times the album is still not solid as an album, but they are very close to having memorable songs.
