Various - Midwest Thrash Attack

Review by Michael Scanlon

Midwest Thrash Attack is an electrifying album that showcases the raw power and intensity of thrash metal. Featuring a diverse range of artists from the Midwest region of the United States, this compilation delivers a relentless assault of riffs, solos, and aggressive vocals that will leave listeners headbanging and moshing.

From the opening track "Bloodlust" by Powermad, to the closing song "The Last Encore" by Wrath, Midwest Thrash Attack is a non-stop barrage of high-energy metal. Other standout tracks include "Toxic Death" by Num Skull, "Chemical Warfare" by Laaz Rockit, and "The American Way" by Sacred Reich.

One of the strengths of this album is the variety of styles and sounds represented. While all the bands share a love of thrash metal, each one brings their own unique flavor to the mix. For example, the punk-inspired aggression of Zoetrope's "N.A.S.A." contrasts with the technical precision of Cyclone Temple's "Words Are Just Words."

Summary by Michael Scanlon

Midwest Thrash Attack is a must-have for fans of thrash metal and anyone who loves fast, heavy, and intense music. The compilation serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Midwest thrash scene and the talented musicians who helped shape it.
