HARLOTT Detritus Of The Final Age CD (2020)

Melbourne thrash has punched above its weight for years, and HARLOTT are one of the main reasons why. Detritus of the Final Age, released in 2020, is their third full-length and it doesn't let up for a second. Tight, aggressive, technically sharp without disappearing up its own neck, it's the kind of record that reminds you thrash never actually went anywhere.

The album lands somewhere between classic Bay Area aggression and the more modern European school of precision thrash, with riffs that feel genuinely earned rather than assembled from a checklist. For a band out of Australia, the production is crisp and the performances are locked in. This is Australian metal doing exactly what it should be doing.
