Primal Instinct
Psykopath

September 15, 2018
Hailing from Bergen in Norway, a country widely known for the Black Metal references and freezing temperature that can inspire the darkest thoughts and the greatest artists, over the top natural scenery and some of the most original artistic expressions of all time, the Thrash Metal band PSYKOPATH releases his EP Primal Instinct in the summer of this 2018. "Lethal Introspect" the opening track for this EP from the Norwegian Thrash Metal, constitutes a clash oh heavily armored cars slashing through flesh and bone while the owners of the world send the nation's children to die for their greed and megalomania threading on the skulls of the helpless while profiting from all this pain and despair.
The title track is a journey within itself, into the times of instinct and the most primal approaches to pain, anger, destruction and the first ever attempt to close your fist in order to crush someones vanity, provide an attitude correction or simply fight the timeless pest called bullies. The third track and the song that gives name to this EP is carried forward by an eminent guitar dominion that begins on the thirtieth second of the track and accompanies the outstanding energy created ever since the beginning of the first track is reproduced in any format.
The references to EXODUS, SLAYER, KREATOR and TESTAMENT are undeniable and he amount of destruction proposed by this band's EP is a fully charged nuclear fire assault on the Scandinavian scene of current metal and it's current exports on the world. One can only hope that this EP is the preview for a full album coming out in the near future, A meager experience as the three tracks turn out to be insufficient for an entire listening journey which can only be obtained by sensing a complete album, thus leaving the listener asking for more and for the aftermath of this approach to destruction from the Norse country, an expectation that all attendants to the Metal Temple hope to be able to have fulfilled in the near future.
