HARLOTT Extinction CD (2017)

Melbourne thrash has never been a polite scene, and Harlott have never been a polite band. Extinction, their second full-length, is the sound of a city that grew up on Bay Area riffs and decided to do it harder, faster, and with considerably more spite.

Released in 2017, this is the record that cemented Harlott's reputation beyond Australian shores. The riffs are surgical, the tempos are genuinely punishing, and there's a precision here that puts a lot of international contemporaries to shame. This is thrash built on actual conviction, not nostalgia tourism. If you've been sleeping on what Australian metal has been quietly doing for the past decade, start here.
