Krushor is a Finnish thrash metal band built on shared taste, shared work, and shared responsibility. Songwriting is a group affair, lyrics, riffs, structures, all passed around until everyone bleeds into the result. Their roots sit deep in old metal, but the band never boxed them into one lane. The aim is simple and honest, loud music that talks about pressure, injustice, and the point where a person snaps. For Krushor, metal is not decoration, it is release, and sometimes therapy.

“Taste Of Hatred” comes from a clear place. This EP deals with retaliation, not fantasy violence, but the moment when someone who has been crushed long enough finally reacts. The band’s own words matter here, a taste is enough to flip the balance, enough to make the oppressor choke on what they served. That theme bleeds through the whole EP, raw, physical, and personal, without drifting into empty slogans or cartoon anger.

Musically, Krushor stays grounded in thrash metal that hits hard and keeps its boots in the dirt. Riffs are aggressive and stubborn, drums hit with urgency, and the vocals sound pissed off for real. Songs like “Shockwave” and “Vortex” attacks fast and loud, while “Rise Above” and the title track dig deeper into the emotional side of the message. There is anger here, but also frustration and defiance, which gives the EP more bite than simple speed worship.

“Taste Of Hatred” works because it sounds human. It is rough around the edges, sometimes messy in a way that suits the subject, and clearly written by people who mean what they shout. Krushor comes across as a band that believes in collective force that gives the EP a solid spine. This is not background noise and not pretties either. It is thrash metal that spits back when pushed.
