Witching Hour comes from Saarland, Germany, bringing pure black thrashing madness. Back in 2009, Marco Justinger handled bass duties, Sascha Bastian destroyed the guitars, Jan Hirtz screamed the vocals and added more guitars, and Simon Wender smashed the drums. This line-up created "Rise Of The Desecrated", their debut album full of juvenile enthusiasm for raw and evil thrash metal. Dying Victims Productions finally licensed this mayhem from Evil Spell Records to give us a proper vinyl LP release.

This album throws straight-up Teutonic thrash metal right into your skull. The speed is relentless. Hirtz shreds his vocal cords with absolute aggression. The guitars rip through the speakers with ungodly velocity, tearing everything apart. Wender batters his drums mercilessly, pushing the music forward with insane energy. The production stays entirely raw, delivering the music with maximum hostility.

The riffing cuts like a rusty chainsaw. The bass lines rumble constantly under the distorted guitars, adding a thick layer of filth. The solos explode out of nowhere, tearing up the rhythm section into shreds. Witching Hour delivers fast tempos and aggressive metallic chaos consistently. You headbang until your neck snaps. The whole album bleeds pure thrash metal energy.

"Rise Of The Desecrated" delivers excellent thrashing madness. It is a highly entertaining release for anyone who lives for fast and evil music. You spin this LP and destroy your living room. The riffs rule, the attitude is perfectly aggressive. A very strong blast of Teutonic thrash that gets the job done.

Score: 7.5
