Mental Coma "Fragments of democracy" CD

For fans of thrash who crave more than just blistering speed, Denmark's Mental Coma delivers the perfect blend of aggression and complexity with "Fragments of Democracy". This debut full-length captures the spirit of late 80s and early 90s thrash while injecting a dose of technical mastery and progressive flair. Anton Pedersen’s neo-classical-tinged leads and Simon Nedev’s razor-sharp rhythm work create a dynamic interplay reminiscent of Forbidden and Heathen, while the band channels the unrelenting energy of Kreator and Sacred Reich. Tracks like “Civilized Abuse” and “Scars of Loyalty” showcase punishing riffs, infectious gang vocals, and tribal drumming that ignite a storm of controlled chaos. With longer, intricate pieces like “Ashes of Humanity,” Mental Coma flexes their technical prowess, blending melodic bass lines with relentless thrash energy. If you’re tired of generic retro-thrash, Mental Coma offers a fresh take with a progressive edge.
