Thraw are a Slovenian five piece thrash band that could have, to be honest, come straight from the Bay
Area circa the 80s. ‘Injecting
Hate’ is their second
Demo, and it’s a pretty raw burst of thrashing riffs and gang choruses.
Their sound leans further toward an earlier
Testament/
Anthrax than say
Megadeth or
Demo. ‘Angeleater’ in particular sounds very
Slayer-esque vocally, with more traditional thrash yells being accompanied by the occasionally Arayan banshee scream, which suits in well with a couple of excellent Scott
Ian style riffs. Interestingly for a thrash band, there is a lack of prolonged soloing in any of the tracks; the band relying more on thrashing riffs and interlinked bridges than say, wailing hundred note solos. Some good bass licks, like a bridge in ‘Angeleater’ or the funky intro line to ‘Induced
Adrenaline’ also adds something to the mix.
Thraw play with a classic style which is becoming close to saturation point in the mainstream but they come across as genuine lovers of the style by not trying to do anything but emulate their heroes. This is true thrash worship, without mainstream dilution or a flashy Repka album cover. Check out the title track's video for how retro they really are...
