Executionist - "Serrated Shadows"

Executionist: "Sacrament of the Sick" - Thrash Metal's Newest Sharp Blade

🎵 Watch "Serrated Shadows" on YouTube

West Virginia's Executionist just dropped their debut, and it's a thrash riot.

No frills, no gimmicks: just razor-wire riffs, galloping rhythms, and melodies that stick like shrapnel. Sacrament of the Sick is the sound of a band who've spent years in the underground sharpening their attack, and now? They're coming for your neck. 

 

Think Kreator's precision, Children of Bodom's flair, and a dash of Maiden's swagger. But don't call it a throwback: this is thrash for 2025, with enough modern bite to keep things dangerous.

Every track on Sacrament of the Sick is a masterclass in balance: brutal enough to satisfy the pit, but sharp enough to keep your brain engaged. The riffs are relentless, the solos are shreddy, but never wanky. The drumming's like a jackhammer with a metronome.

This isn't just another thrash revival. It's the sound of a band who know their craft and aren't afraid to swing for the fences. 

 

Executionist might be your new obsession. No filler, no fluff, just pure, high-octane metal.

Yes, they're from West Virginia. No, they don't sound like coal mining music. Unless coal mining music now includes face-melting solos.

CONCLUSION:
Executionist's Sacrament of the Sick proves that thrash metal is alive and well in 2025. With razor-sharp riffs, relentless drumming, and a perfect balance between brutality and melody, this debut album is a masterclass in modern thrash. If you're looking for high-octane metal without the gimmicks, Executionist delivers the goods with precision and passion.
