Vicious Rumors – Razorback Killers (2011)

I have been a fan of the heavy metal band Vicious Rumors since their excellent debut, Soldiers of Night from 1986.  The lineup of Vicious Rumors has changed several times over the last 25 years, but one thing has remained constant, guitar player Geoff Thorpe. Thorpe is the heart and soul of Vicious Rumors.  His dedication to creating quality metal has not changed since the band’s beginning.  I am convinced he has metal in his blood.

Razorback Killers is a heavy metal fan’s dream.  Heavy guitars, screaming vocals and songs that will absolutely kick your METAL ass!  New Vicious Rumors singer Brian Allen (Last Empire, Malice, Wild Dogs) is a terrific find, and a fantastic addition to Vicious Rumors.  He may be my favorite Vicious Rumors singer since the late Carl Albert (God rest his soul)!  He can growl, scream and sing with the best of them!

I don’t know if Brian Allen has been a new muse for Geoff Thorpe. Thorpe has always been a great guitarist, but his guitar work on Razorback Killers is stellar.  I can’t say enough about his playing on this disc.

The music on Razorback Killers oscillates between classic heavy metal, and thrash, and it never fails to disappoint.This disc will easily be a solid contender for metal album of the year. Heavy Metal just got a major kick in the ass!

If you are a metal head, you should be RUNNING to the store, and picking this up when it is released (April 5th).  You can purchase it online here!
