Hold onto your eardrums, folks—Pennsylvania-bred maniacs Self Inflicted are back, and they’re not here to tuck you into bed. Their sophomore album, Terrors of a Demented Mind, is a 40-minute tornado of riffs, rage, and pure thrash insanity. Think Obituary meets Cynic in a mosh pit, with a dash of prog chaos. Sounds wild? You bet your neckbrace it is.
These guys ain’t rookies. Forged in 2020’s dumpster-fire chaos, they sharpened their sound like a butcher’s blade, dropping their debut Death by Fire in 2022. But hey, bands are like relationships—sometimes you gotta swap drummers to find “the one.” Enter Logan Gaydek, whose beats hit harder than a caffeine-starved barista at 7 AM. Paired with brother Tyler on bass, riff-slingers Jonathan Wilson and Jake Bell, and you’ve got a squad that’s tighter than your dad’s old Metallica tee.
Terrors of a Demented Mind? More like Terrors of Your Eardrums. This ain’t background music for yoga—it’s a cacophony of blistering solos, throat-shredding vocals, and tempo shifts that’ll give you whiplash. Their January release show with Whorigami and Kitchen Knife Conspiracy? Pure carnage. Imagine a room where the air smells like sweat and rebellion. Yeah, that vibe.
These Ohio-adjacent thrashers aren’t resting. Already cooking new material? Of course. Because why slow down when you’re mainlining creativity like it’s Black Friday at a guitar shop?
Look, I’ve heard my share of “revived thrash” bands. Most fizzle faster than a wet firework. But Self Inflicted? They’ve got that raw, unpolished hunger—the kind that makes you wanna spike your coffee and air-guitar in traffic. Is Terrors a masterpiece? You tell me. Crank it loud, dive into the pit, and pray your neighbors don’t call the cops.
