Pratl71 Rabid Beast sets a tone, a standard for the still-breathing testimony that thrash metal is not only viable and alive, it can and should be addressed with some sincerity and passion that only true disciples of the medium can afford. When you think there is no hope, no reprieve for a medium so criminally raped and prostituted in its later supposed heyday, listen to the Rabid Beast EP and remember how lucky we are to have people with vision still enlightening us.

This is absolute, scathing pandemonium. There isn't a second on this record in which you can catch your breath and I wouldn't want it any other way. If you're looking for straight up, classic, assaulting thrash metal you'll be thrilled to hear this one. Keep killing it, guys! Favorite track: First Among Equals.

arcanusdevious Rabid Beast's eponymous EP is nothing short of amazing. Gut wrenching vocals, poignant lyrics, and massive bone crunching riffs drive this blistering thrash maelstrom. There are definite parallels to Demolition Hammer and Violence's best works, but make no mistake, in the domain of thrash metal Rabid Beast's music is an exceptional breath of fresh air. I cannot recommend this album enough. If you crave genre defining thrash, look no further. Favorite track: Decline into Disorder.

Lyrics: Focus shifting with the days ahead A blaming of sorts A look at our lives with eyes intentionally closed A universal sabotage Bring down the hammer The way of this world We are in perpetual motion Running through circles A lack of disinterest Always being fully consumed Bending our will to make some sense Sprinting sideways upon ankles broken Sprinting sideways upon ankles broken Decline into Disorder What strides have we made Disorder has declined Always afraid Disorder This gross misconduct leads our way Sharing everything - infect & spread The way of this world We are in perpetual motion Running through circles A lack of disinterest Always being fully consumed Bending our will to make some sense Sprinting sideways upon ankles broken Sprinting sideways upon ankles broken Decline into Disorder What strides have we made Disorder has declined Barely living this life always afraid Decline into Disorder Snafu infinite.

Lyrics: My mind enshrined with your burden of proof Showing off the clouded ways today is another day in a long line Searching for a pause Consumed repeatedly with everything A pain that repeats itself it begins & ends again & again it begins & ends again We overload minds We overload limbs There are limits & I’m feeling close —— Existential Maelstrom Existential Maelstrom Existential Maelstrom Existential Maelstrom My mind enshrined with your burden of proof Showing off the clouded ways today is another day in a long line Searching for a pause Consumed repeatedly with everything A pain that repeats itself it begins & ends again & again it begins & ends again We overload minds We overload limbs There are limits & I’m feeling close —— A massive static blaring at our doors A consistent yet evolving storm Within the range of a shotgun blast Arms held high, surrender now Turn to face your masks Corrupted again, your world now thins Sensing a formal retreat Bury your head or find a new way Break away from the pack Make a run for your life Looming on every horizon Every torrent lends to die Looming on every horizon Every torrent lends to die Looming on every horizon Every torrent lends to die

Lyrics: The often elusive and obscure How to lead? The often elusive and obscure How to lead?  Questions of focus & determination Chosen to do all the choosing... Mass distinction of man’s plight in disguise Fits my shape much more after deforming Remedies tested throughout time Birthed from a mind of the same programming I am to show the way show the way show the way FIRST AMONG EQUALS TO DIE I am the first You are the second I am the first FIRST AMONG EQUALS TO DIE I am the first You are the second I am the first ——————— The often elusive and obscure How to lead? The often elusive and obscure How to lead?  Questions of focus & determination Chosen to do all the choosing Mass distinction of man’s plight in disguise Fits my shape much more after deforming Remedies tested throughout time Birthed from a mind of the same programming I am to show the way show the way. show the way! Can there be order  Without chaos? How many lesser equals will feel the urge? The equation is a blur Natural order is destroyed........

Lyrics: Sound check at 2 Yeah right - more like 5 You waste our time. You don’t give a fuck You’re not cool at all You’re nothing but a dork. Always running your mouth Your time’s coming fast You’re dead Cutting sets short Tough guy shit your stage is on fire Monitors impaled Sound engineer dead Bouncers sucking dick Green room is red..... 3 dollar payout Stick it up your ass Swallow my nuts Pearly whites gone Loudmouth - jaw broken Pay us - or you die Fuck off - little bitch The green room - is red The Green room is red The Green room is red These walls soaked with bouncer blood These walls soaked with bouncer blood These walls soaked with bouncer blood These walls soaked with bouncer blood Loudmouth - jaw broken Pay us - or you die Fuck off - little bitch Green room - is red Green room is red Green room is red Green room is red 3 dollar payout Stick it up your ass Swallow my nuts Pearly whites gone Loudmouth - jaw broken Pay us - or you die

Lyrics: Battle of the ages - good and evil waging war for mankind's soul. Centuries, Milleniums - spent in futile struggle for the prize and the reward already given to the demon the oppressor. Vanguish the resistant, subjugate. Victimize the meek and the mild. Unholy power reign supreme. Ruling all, fist of fear, a mighty weapon to be wielded. Sparing none, who dare oppose, redemption is the trademark of a goddamn fool. Overlord - Still you fight though the cause is lost. Hail the victor master of this earth. Overlord - The weak of mind owe no debt. Fables of salvation are stories of the past. Electronic prophets - so called righteous virtue's their disguise. Intentions, camouflaged - they weave their clever tales of myth and swear by all that's holy that they speak the gospel truth, they're lying bastards. Dominate the destitute, circumvent. Persecute the conscience of the masses. Helplessly the feeble follow. Call it right, it's really wrong. Answer to the dark one in the end. Secretly, blasphemy - testimony proving good will not always prevail. Overlord - Betrayed by those you called your own. Gleam of silver negates loyalty. Overlord - Blackness spreading across the land. Countless graves cry out and curse your name. Death advances shouting kill - destroy. Slaves surrender fearing blood shall flow. Faith disappears from the bravest of heroes, when death's icy grip holds their life in its grasp. Marching defiant the legions bear witness, to stand against evil means you stand alone!
