Metal on Metal Records announced the signing of a young Austrian technical thrash metal band WILDHUNT. Their debut full-length is titled “Descending” and will be out on April 29th. The band prepared and put on their YouTube channel the album trailer with excerpts of most of the songs.
Commented the label:
“We are always on the hunt for young talented bands (and when we come across one that really stands out from the crowd, they have our full attention), but in this case WILDHUNT were the hunters, as it was the band who got in touch with us a couple of months ago, sending us their debut full-length. These thrashers from Austria started out in 2011, but their music and sound harkens back to the late ’80s/early ’90s when some technical thrash gems were released in Germany and Switzerland… to the point that if we hadn’t known what album it is and somebody played it for us, we would have thought it actually IS from that era! We can hear many influences from bands like DEATHROW, DESPAIR, CORONER or GRINDER, but they have managed to create their individual sound and give their music a unique feel. These guys have impressive technical skills, but what’s even more important, their songwriting is very strong, too.”
