FORGERY Harbouring Hate (2009) CD

UK thrash in 2009 was a stubborn, beautiful thing, operating well outside the nostalgia circuit and owing nothing to the mainstream revival hype. Forgery were part of that gritty underbelly, playing it tight and pissed and mean.

Harbouring Hate is a short, sharp slab of British thrash with teeth. No filler, no wasted motion, just the kind of riff-forward aggression that made the genre worth caring about in the first place. If your collection runs Onslaught deep and you've got opinions about the second wave, this belongs in the stack.

Full length album on CD jewel case. UK press, 2009. Tracklist: 1. Equilibrium (3:27) / 2. Harbouring Hate (3:34) / 3. Stain.

Fans of: Onslaught, Evile, Acid Reign, Municipal Waste.
