Canadian thrash metal legends, RAZOR, return with “Cycle Of Contempt,” their first new full-length album in 25 years! “Cycle Of Contempt” is a direct, cutthroat record that pulls no punches and takes no prisoners. Watch Razor\u2019s lyric video for the new song, “Flames Of Hatred,” below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We are so psyched to finally offer this recording to our awesome and patient fanbase! It was our pleasure to make this for you and we sincerely hope you feel it was worth the wait. Play it loud my friends!” – Dave Carlo, Razor guitarist<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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, entitled “Cycle Of Contempt.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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 to mosh pits that spun and tumbled like clothes in a short-circuiting dryer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As energetic and exciting as Evil Invaders and as urgent and powerful as Razor\u2019s 1989 speed-fest “Violent Restitution,” “Cycle Of Contempt” showcases a band that never stopped spewing venom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“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,’\u201d band founder Dave Carlo says. “And I didn\u2019t want to make everything specifically about me because when you do that, you exclude people. I wanted to include everyone that\u2019s ever felt pissed off about anything.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
