RANCOR
– Release the Rancor
Independent
RANCOR reaffirm my long‑standing view of what thrash metal should sound like
with this debut full‑length.
Hailing from Spain and releasing the album independently, the band draws
heavily from the classic 80s thrash tradition, with a particularly strong Bay
Area imprint. In their music you can clearly trace elements reminiscent of
TESTAMENT, SLAYER, METALLICA, and EXODUS — not as imitation, but as a
foundation they build upon with confidence.
The band plays with notable tightness, and their
songwriting carries enough ideas and energy to make the album an enjoyable
listen from start to finish. Fans of the genre — myself included — will easily
find tracks that speak to their thrash instincts.
It is also worth highlighting that, despite being a
self‑financed
release, Release the Rancor operates on impressively professional standards.
The production and presentation allow the band to showcase their full potential
without compromise.
Overall, Release the Rancor is a strong debut that
deserves the attention of thrash metal listeners. RANCOR demonstrate clear
talent and commitment, and it will be interesting to see how they evolve in
future releases. Definitely a band worth checking out.
