Spanish old-school thrashers Terminal Violence presents their debut LP, Moshocalypse. Previously available on digital and CD on November 25th 2024, the album is finally available on vinyl as of January 24th, 2025.
Barcelona-based Terminal Violence charged onto the scene in 2022, making an immediate impact with their blistering debut EP, Warhole, the following year. With relentless intensity, the Spanish five-piece embraced thrash metal’s violent past, igniting it further with a contemporary, fiery edge.
Their debut album, Moshocalypse, is, to Terminal Violence, the natural evolution of Warhole:
“Keeping the essence of the Bay Area’s scene, we have produced new tracks that continue to follow this path, same aggression, same spirit,” states the band. “No reinventing the wheel, just us doing what we believe we do best.” A standout moment on the album is their collaboration with Guillermo Izquierdo, vocalist and guitarist of Spain’s thrash metal giants Angelus Apatrida, on the track Smart Is The New Dumb.
While Moshocalypse might allude to themes of partying, drinking, or thrashing, Terminal Violence channels their no-holds-barred aggression into sharp social commentary. The album delves into political, social, and economic critique. The band doesn’t shy away from boldly addressing radicalism and its extremes, using tracks like All Hail Zyon to draw parallels between fascism and the most radical forms of Zionism and anti-Semitism. Through exaggeration and irony, they expose the shared madness of these ideologies while emphasizing the tragic reality of ethnocide. Yet, amidst the intensity, Terminal Violence revels in creating tracks for pure enjoyment, ensuring their live performances remain electric and engaging.
With several gigs already confirmed across Spain, Terminal Violence is eager to spread their unrelenting energy and music to audiences worldwide.
