Anyone that cut their metal teeth with The Big Four, and then dug a little deeper into the indie scene, should receive a major endorphin rush when they discover that speed and thrash masters RAZOR are about to release their first studio offering in 25 years. The album, Cycle of Contempt, is a direct, cutthroat record that pulls no punches and takes no prisoners. From the catchy, concise riffs and insistent beats of album opener “Flames of Hatred” to the double-barreled assault, muted power chord chugging and combative gang vocal of album closer “King Shit,” Cycle of Contempt is a trenchant reminder of a time when clubs around the world were packed with long-haired bands that played as fast as they could and mosh pits that spun and tumbled like clothes in a short-circuiting dryer. As energetic and exciting as Evil Invaders and as urgent and powerful as RAZOR’s 1989 speed-fest Violent Restitution, Cycle of Contempt showcases a band that never stopped spewing venom. “I tried to write songs that everybody could listen to and say, “Yeah, I know a guy who's done that to me or done this, or I know that situation. I can relate to that,” band founder Dave Carlo says. “And I didn’t want to make everything specifically about me because when you do that, you exclude people. I wanted to include everyone that’s ever felt pissed off about anything.” An unrelenting slab of old-school thrash that showcases RAZOR's encyclopedic knowledge of the past along with Carlo’s growth as a songwriter, player, and lyricist, Cycle of Contempt is here to show that RAZOR are as dominating as ever.
me is impossible no to think on lemmy klimster at first listen, is great guys, rock and rock and roll will never die !! sorry for the bad english Respect from Mexico !!
this sounds like 14 year old one man slayer worship project recording on some cheap pentium 2 comp. relapse, you had one job, this was anticipated comeback album and production sounds like this ?
@@shelbyjames1894 I mean, there is a broad Dave Carlo riffing style. But I've never heard Razor riffs sufficiently like these for a self plagiarism charge to hold any water. 🤣

I like this!
Its like fear factory/but more thrash .
What planet are you on if you think this sounds remotely anything like FF?
@@joeblogs4645 probably the sound of programmed/digital drums
Sounds good like D.R.I
Or S.O.D.
Or Razor
@@jimmyfingers227 touche
DRUMS ARE TOO LOOUUUDDDDDDDDD god my ears hurt. They sound robotic af too.
Good, quiet drums are lame
Nah everything's fine
I can't hear you
You needed to edit that?
First 13 seconds straight Slayer rip off. We all got ears right?
Pure act of self-plagiarism.
lol
🤔 I'm gonna have to ask you to name a Razor song to which this bears a strong resemblance. 😄
I think I hear it... similar riffing. Can't place the song tho.
