Today, Greek deathrashers
Vicious Knights premiere the new track
"Swing From the Grave" at
Zero Tolerance magazine's website. The track is
the third to be revealed from the band's highly anticipated debut album,
Alteration Through Possession, set for international release on January 28th via
Dying Victims Productions. Hear Vicious Knights' "Swing From the Grave" in its entirety exclusively HERE.
Vicious Knights is an old-school death/thrash metal
band, screaming from Thessaloniki, Greece. The band was formed in 2016
by Antonis "Harvester" (guitars/vocals) and Liakos (drums). Panos (bass
guitar) entered the band a few months later. This three-piece of total
maniacs issued self-released on CD their first EP
Malevolent Spirits,
originally in 2018 and then reissued in 2020 by the World War Now
label. The band had many gigs in Greece presenting their first release
and some of their newer material, making a great impact on the
underground scene.
Now, armed with the support of
Dying Victims,
Vicious Knights return to destroy the world with their first full-length,
Alteration Through Possession! Curiously yet tellingly titled,
Alteration Through Possession indeed transforms the listener…once that listener is ensnared in the power-trio’s iron grip! Like a trip back to 1987,
Vicious Knights live
up to their moniker by invoking the old spirits of early Kreator,
Destruction, Possessed, and Sepultura, combining more devotedly
horror-specific lyrics with absolutely ass-ripping DEATHRASH. They go
beyond the gates to inflict eternal pain, their infernal overkill
bestowing morbid visions upon those who still believe in razor-wire
riffing, snarling-evil vokills, and straightforward drum-propulsion –
and of course, actual
songwriting. Simple, sure, but sublime:
Alteration Through Possession is a pleasure to kill!
