| Violent Definition storms onto the scene with Progressive Obsoletion, a relentless thrash metal assault that leaves no room for respite. This Greek powerhouse delivers nine tracks of unrelenting speed, razor-sharp riffs, and pure aggression, channeling the spirit of the genre’s golden era while injecting a dose of technical precision that sets them apart. From the moment the opening instrumental sets the tone, the listener is launched headfirst into a maelstrom of riff-driven chaos, where blistering solos and galloping rhythms reign supreme.
Nick Psarogiannis shreds with ferocity, his lead work injecting a sense of urgency and unpredictability into every track. Meanwhile, George “IronBeast” Balios lives up to his name, unleashing scathing vocals that drip with venom, delivering dystopian themes of human downfall and existential dread. The rhythm section is equally punishing—Chris Zoukas’ bass rumbles with an undeniable presence, adding weight and depth, while Giannis “Maelstrom” Votsis lives up to his moniker, attacking the drums with a relentless barrage of blast beats, double kicks, and intricate fills.
Tracks like Justified Ferocity and Children of God embody everything great about old-school thrash—breakneck pacing, violent riffing, and anthemic, neck-snapping intensity. Meanwhile, The Last Grain in Your Hourglass showcases a more dynamic approach, building tension before erupting into a whirlwind of unrelenting fury. Progressive Obsoletion is a masterclass in thrash metal savagery, proving that Violent Definition is here to revive and redefine the genre’s legacy. Fans of classic thrash will find themselves headbanging uncontrollably—this is the sound of thrash metal at its most volatile and vital.
