EP review: Black Torment - Omega Beast Armageddon (2019)


 Black Torment - Omega Beast Armageddon

Mexico

Ablaze Productions

Omega Beast Armageddon” is the latest EP from Mexican black/thrash squadron, Hell Torment. It was released in 2019 and flew under my radar for some reason. The 5 tracks on this EP has all the hallmarks of a Black Torment release: coarse vocals; thrashy melodic riffs; sharp drumming; and a dirty production to top it off. The band keeps their rawness intact, always maintaining a sense of integrity and keeping it purely underground. You can hear the band had a blast when they recorded these songs. The music is energetic, well-executed, yet decidedly blasphemous in its essence. It’s a fun little EP to jam if you’re in the mood for some lethal black/thrash. A point worth noting is that the band has been playing this style longer than most, so this is no retro shit by any means. They don’t try to be old school, they ARE old school. All in all, it’s a killer EP out-and-out with cool artwork. It must be heard! Check it out! (HT)
