GHOUL Splatterthrash Vinyl (2006) LP

The Bay Area gave us a lot of things. Fog, sourdough, and Ghoul, a masked death/thrash collective who refused to put their faces on anything and let the riffs do the talking instead. Smart call.

Splatterthrash is Ghoul at peak chaos, a record that weaponises grindcore speed against thrash metal riffs and wraps the whole bloody mess in a horror B-movie concept that somehow holds together. Released in 2006 on Tankcrimes, it cemented the band's reputation as underground metal's most reliably deranged project. If you grew up on early Sodom, Municipal Waste, and late-night horror double features, this belongs in your collection. The splatter vinyl pressing is exactly what it sounds like, and it looks unhinged on a shelf.

LP full length on splatter vinyl. US pressing, 2006 original year of release. Genre: death metal, thrash metal, grindcore.
