Formed in Rome back in 1994 under the name Scapegoat,
and reborn as Enemynside in 1999, this
veteran act has built a steady reputation across the international thrash
scene. With four albums and a string of EPs, countless European tours, and
stage time alongside acts like Destruction, Tankard, and Flotsam And
Jetsam, they’ve earned their scars honestly. Over the years, Enemynside has stayed loyal to their roots while
sharpening their edge with each release, and their new EP "In The Shadows
Of Unrest" is another solid testament to their enduring energy.
The EP packs
aggression from the first note. It’s thrash metal through and through, fast,
angry, and packed with hooks that bite. The riffs are crisp and punchy, the
drumming relentless, and the production gives everything a modern punch without
sanding down the raw edges. The sound is fierce and unfiltered, with a clear
nod to the classic thrash ethos that still drives the band forward.
Each song on "In
The Shadows Of Unrest" comes across as a direct punch, short, aggressive,
and infused with power. There’s no filler or hesitation, only straightforward
thrash with just enough bite to make it memorable. The mix by Marco “Cinghio” Mastrobuono (at Kick Recording Studio) ensures every instrument
hits with the right impact, giving the release a fresh sound while keeping it
raw at heart.
Visually, Diyaco Paymazd’s artwork captures the unrest and
fury that pulse through the music. It mirrors the tension and chaos that have
always been at the core of Enemynside’s
identity, a band that has survived trends and decades without softening its
tone. "In The Shadows Of Unrest" may be brief, but it’s a fierce
reminder of why Enemynside remains relevant
after all these years. It’s thrash played with heart, precision, and pure
determination.
Score: 7.0
