PRE-ORDER: Wraith - Descent Into Darkness [CD], Wraith, CD

Favoring focus and fire over frills and flash, the Indiana quartet have summoned the speed of old school thrash through a prism of 21st century extreme metal accelerated at a breakneck pace. The Midwest bred outfit allow the riffs, solos, furious beats, and haunting lyrics to speak on their behalf, conjuring imagery with the high-octane action of a big-screen historical epic-movie.
