Brazil’s own Deathraiser first crawled out of the gutter in 2011 with an absolute neck-snapper called "Violent Aggression". They basically vanished into the shadows for fifteen years, leaving us starving for more of that high-speed South American filth. Now, the original maniacs Thiago Rocha, Ramon Bedim, Junior Gaetho, and William Fernandes have finally crawled back out of the pit to remind everyone why they are the kings of the underground.

There is a nasty worldview running through “Forged In Hatred”, and it bleeds through every riff. The lyrics spit at corruption, social decay, empty leaders and brain dead masses, and the music mirrors that ugliness without dressing it up. This is raw anger turned into motion, not some abstract concept. The album sounds like someone grinding their teeth through clenched jaws, fueled by frustration that never cooled off during the band’s long absence.

The songwriting hits hard and stays sharp. Riffs come in fast and mean, drums drive everything forward like a blunt weapon, and the vocals sound scorched. Tracks like “Severe Atrocity” and “Primitive Medicine” tear straight into the point, while “Corporation Parasite” and “Empire Of Ignorance” dig deep into the album’s hateful core. This is thrash built to trigger headbanging on instinct, and the message delivers immediately. If not, no explanations offered.

What really pushes this album above average is how solid it stays all the way through. There is no dead air, no weak ideas padding things out, and no fake drama. “Toxic Legacy” and “One Step To The Grave” come off like tightly wound explosives, and by the time “Dead Generation” closes the album, the damage is already done. It leaves you wired, irritated, and strangely satisfied, like a proper thrash record should.

“Forged In Hatred” sounds alive in the ugliest way possible. It channels anger without watering it down and delivers a tight, aggressive release that hits hard for its entire run. For thrash fans who want speed, hostility and zero compromises, Deathraiser deliver a serious strike.

Score: 8.5
