UP THE METAL HAMMERS!!!!

METAL FANATIX.com - Old school thrash is what HIRAXis all about. “The New Age of Terror” should bring you back to the eighties during the time when the Bay area thrash sound had just started to escalate. Fast, aggressive metal riffs cover the album, and should get any fan of thrash an awaking. This thrash attack has so many enticing riffs the crowd has to go insane in the mosh pits during their shows. The leads get you right into each song and if that still didn’t entice your ears, there are solos that dance all over this album. If you haven’t heard Katon W. De Pena sing before, he has a similar vocal style and power of Paul Baloff of Exodus. That’s probably the only one even close to his style. All of this CD’s elements are thrash…eleven tracks and a little bit over thirty-seven minutes worth. There are a selection of tracks that I dig, including “Swords of Steel,” “Hell On Earth,” the instrumental ballad “El Dia De Los Muertos (The Day of the Dead),” “El Diablo Negro,” and” Unleash the Dogs of War (Open the Gates).” If you like thrash done the way it use to be, you need to listen to “The New Age of Terror.”

Unchain.com  (Stony Point, NEW YORK.) Music Reviews


I've heard about HIRAX quite a bit over the years, since I started Unchain the Underground back in 1989, but must admit that until I received a promo of The New Age of Terror a few weeks ago, I had never actually heard their music. I am fucking FLOORED. I am a thrash metal fanatic. Hands down, it is my favorite kind of music, and not this new vein of thrash. I am talking the old-school, dirty thrash metal, like RAZOR, BLOOD FEAST, DARK ANGEL, FORBIDDEN... you get the idea. HIRAX falls right in with the greats! Hell, they ARE one of the greats. The New Age of Terror is a pure, glorious, just-about perfect thrash album that sounds like it could have been written in the genre's golden era, yet does not sound dated. The songs are catchy and heavy, with a fine balance of groove and speed. Katon DePena's vocals are unique to the point of, at first listen, being a little unsettling because his sound is SO different, but after a few spins it sinks in and everything clicks. HIRAX are five guys that obviously live for this stuff, and you can hear their conviction and passion in the music. The New Age of Terror is an album I find myself wishing I was listening to at different times throughout the day. The songs are catchy to the point that I will be listening to another album and will hear something that reminds me of one of the songs off The New Age of Terror, and I will take out whatever album I have on and put this one in. It is THAT good.

HIRAX rules. Plain and simple. I pray that they tour the entire nation so I can catch them live, and that The New Age of Terror gets them the recognition they have deserved for so long, and that the interest is enough that the first two albums are re-released on CD because I need those fuckers bad and can't find them anywhere. - Al Kikuras
