COMMANDO - Rites Of Damnation (Ep-slipcase) (CDWA)

In advance of their first full-length album, Commando whet our collective
appetites for more classic, thrash-tinged heavy metal with "Rites of
Damnation," a mini LP containing six tracks that hint at a bright future for
these young Swedes. Founded in 2016 by four like-minded youngsters at
school, the band found themselves quickly juggling with different influences
from the whole metallic spectrum to create their own take on a timeless
formula. Their "Demo 2018" offered a first, raw taste of what has, by now,
fully unfolded: highly energetic traditional steel with hysterical vocals, yet
executed with control and sharp compositional wit throughout. The two
songs were re-recorded for "Rites of Damnation" to show the large steps
Commando have taken within just a few months.
