Hatchet
More retro thrash here, from one of the birthplaces of the original
movement.
Hatchet won over
Metal Blade
after recording a couple
of demos in 2006 and 2007 and debuting in 2008 with
Awaiting Evil,
while it took five years for a followup album (
Dawn Of The End)
on a new label
(
The End).
Awaiting Evil has all of the trademarks of classic retro thrash,
with
Exodus
and early
Slayer
influences all over the place like it's 1986 all over again.
On the other hand,
Dawn is quite a bit more mature, with an improved
production,
better musicianship,
and a tad more modern approach, though there's still plenty
of old-style thrash riff goodness on display.
The band has done well to stretch beyond the retro tag and this may
bode well for the future.
Recent album: Leave No Soul,
released on October 25, 2024.
