Chaos Machine

    
       
       
       
     
             
Enemynside are a thrash metal band from Italy, releasing their debut album 'Let The Madness Begin...', in 2003. The follow up album 'In The Middle Of Nowhere', emerged in 2007 with third album 'Whatever Comes', released in 2012. After a period of hiatus, Enemynside re-emerged in 2017, releasing the four song E.P. 'Dead Nation Army' the following year. The bands fourth album 'Chaos Machine' was released in 2019.    
             
Just a year after Enemynside announced their return to the thrash metal scene with the E.P. 'Dead Nation Army', the band are back with a full length album, 'Chaos Machine'. Ten songs in a little over thirty minutes, the Italian thrash metallers leave no one in any doubt, that they mean business, delivering ferocious fast paced thrash that will have heads banging all around the world. Immediately into its stride, the album is off to an absolute flyer with the ferociously paced 'Faceless'. Vigorous head banging will accompany 'Faceless' as it terrorises the airways with aggression and anger. Last year 'Dead Nation Army' set alight the thrash metal scene, 'Chaos Machine' will set it ablaze! The ferocious pace continues with the speedster 'Black Mud'. Firing on all cylinders Enemynside are confirming that their re-emergence two years was not just a one off. They are hungry, passionate and full of energy, as they power on with 'Suffered Defeat'. More brutal than the opening double salvo, 'Suffered Defeat' hits harder, kicks harder, and is much more in your face.    
             
The album is fairly short, chiming in at a little over thirty minutes, with an incredible eight songs less than four minutes in length. 'Frozen Prison Cell' cuts a savage path as it venomously forages forth. High velocity thrash metal at its finest, 'Frozen Prison Cell' is head bangingly addictive, and will raise fists high in the air wherever it is heard. 'Deadline' steers the album down the more, melodic thrash metal motorway, albeit still motoring at over one hundred miles per hour. The pace of the album is simply breath taking, no pausing for a breather and definitely no stopping to get off - but then, why would you want to with thrash this good!!    
             
Blistering pace takes over the album with the highly energetic 'System Failure'. Taking no prisoners, 'System Failure' maintains the adrenaline rush that began when the album began. The astonishing pace continues with 'The Terror', ripping holes in the airways and bounding through them, leaving only destruction and desolation in its wake. The devastating pace and power of the album is breathless but exhilarating, and an absolute joy. Pounding and pulsating, 'Shitstorm' hits like a swinging wrecking ball - many times and very hard. The savage barrage of riffing cuts like a knife, a big knife, with a serrated blade, lacerating with every slice. 'No God In Kolyma' delivers an aggressive blast of high velocity thrash, hinting at early Anthrax, with its in your face terror and angst, The album ends with the one minute 'Devoured', a mellow meander that acts as a "warm down" from the metal thrashing madness of the last half hour.    
             
Overall, energetic and ferocious, vicious and savage, Enemynside deliver a thrilling album of all out and aggressive thrash metal.
