Abandon All Liberties was recorded in our rehearsal space at Nørrebro, Copenhagen at different slots during 2019.On their debut EP, metal newcomers Terminalist delve into fast-paced riffing and melodic speed picking with menacing growls and intense blastbeats.
The band furiously blend elements of thrash metal, black metal and progressive metal, drawing influences from bands such as space-prog-thrashers Vektor, black-thrashers Melechesh and old school titans such as Testament and Metallica.
The lyrics take on late French thinker Paul Virilio's philosophy of dromology, a science of speed describing continuous and increasing acceleration as the defining logic of contemporary and future societies.
As such, the music reflects hypermodernity in full-on thrash throttle.
Hence Terminalist, chronicling the journey towards our demise with intensity and high-speed energy, dub their musical style “hyperthrash”.
