From my hometown local heroes Repent emit Bay Area influenced thrash metal with hardcore style vocals.

 Fast and hard, straight forward and no bullshit.

 Founded in 1992 they have recorded four albums so far. Vortex of Violence is their best effort IMO.

 These guys are kind of hidden champions. It’s a shame they don’t play live so often.

This has a fantastic sound I would've been all over growing up, kinda reminds me of a dirtier The Crown from Sweden lol. Actually when it's just the main dude performing his vocal abilities, it really is like a mix between Randy Blythe from Lamb of God and Johan Lindstrand!

Shame about them not being on Tidal :/

If you are into CDs or vinyl, you can still get them (vinyl would be used of course). And you can buy the album on Bandcamp for 8€ I think.

Don’t know whether they are on any other streaming platform, I only use tidal and sometimes Bandcamp.

Yeah, the singer really does the trick IMO.

I missed their last concert (support gig for Tankard), but my wife was there and she enjoyed it.

Place to post and discuss THRASH METAL!

RULES (MUST READ):

Please keep things relevant to thrash (death thrash, blackened thrash, crossover, speed metal etc. are permitted). While we understand it is subjective, if a moderator believes a song to stray too far from thrash, it will likely be locked. Please do not take this personally. Repeat offenders may see posts removed.
Please search before posting a song, do not repeat posts.
Friendly debate is encouraged.
When posting a song use the format of "Band - Song [FFO: band1, band2]". This just helps keep things uniform. The "FFO" (For Fans Of) section is optional. It is for lesser known bands. (Stole this idea from the Death Metal community).
No racist, sexist, blah blah blah... you get the idea. This is not the place to discuss sensitive matters.
No NSFW content (apart from songs/album covers. If they do include NSFW content, please mark the posts as such).
Post in English only (obviously you can post songs in different languages).
But most of all have fun XD.
