Hellcannon - Infected with Violence

Hellcannon
Infected with Violence
2010 Butchered Records
Very young band here, based out of Buffalo, New York, and formed in 2008. Besides being new on the scene, I think the members are all fairly young as well. But youth has never been much of an obstacle when it comes to good metal music. Just consider how young the members of Possessed were. These four guys crank out some serious thrash metal music, sounding maybe like Destruction in their early days, with Tom Angelripper on vocals and a more "modern" production. I'll admit right now that's a really bad comparison, and maybe just saying they're very "early days of Sodom-like" would be more accurate. But at least I'm in the ballpark and not saying they sound like Autopsy like 90% of reviews do these days regardless of what metal genre the reviewee is in. There's a whole lot of similarities to most of the Australian death/warmetal scene as well. For intensity, Hellcannon are right up there with the likes of Destroyer 666 and Assaulter. Like a lot of what I tend to like in my metal and review on here, Hellcannon are a little off the beaten path, but well-worth checking out.
