The heavy metal underground has always had a soft spot for the weirdos, and Brahmashiras definitely fits the bill. These guys crawled out of Vladimir, Russia, back in 2023 with a self-titled EP that confused and crushed people in equal measure. They took the grime of hardcore punk and shoved it into a meat grinder with death metal, coming out with something that felt like an old-school grindcore attack but with the ego of a heavy metal power trio. They gained a cult following fast because they didn't sound like everyone else trying to copy the Florida scene.

Now they’ve returned with “Trinitite”, and it’s clear they haven't spent the last two years playing nice. This full-length debut is a massive step up in terms of pure hostility. While the EP was a bit more stripped back, this new album is a restless, vibrating mess of aggression that clocks in at twenty-six minutes. It’s got a much stronger blackened edge this time around, sounding like a band that’s genuinely pissed off at the world. The production is thick and loud, capturing the raw, spiteful vocal bark and the chaotic riffing without making it sound like a muddy basement tape.

The execution on songs like “Deadly Arrow” and “The Sudlica Of Khton” shows a band that has tightened their grip on their instruments. It’s abrasive as hell and built specifically for the people who want their music to hurt a little bit. The transition from the more punk-influenced roots into this vengeful, blackened death metal hybrid is seamless. The drums pound away with a savage energy that keeps the seven-song run moving at a breakneck pace, never slowing down long enough for you to catch your breath.

There is a real sense of enlightenment through violence here, matching that strange invitation they give about the "womb of desire." Brahmashiras has maximized their potential by leaning into the red and keeping the attack constant. It’s a calculated escalation of everything they did before, delivering a crushing blow to anyone who thought their first EP was a one-time deal. If you want something that sounds like a hungry beast tearing through the cage, this is the one to blast until your ears bleed.

Score: 7.5
