Thrash metal's exportation from Brazil has always been interesting. Gone are the days when Sepultura, Soulfly or even Cavalera Conspiracy were synonymous with the Brazilian thrash metal scene. Hey, did you notice one thing? The common musician for those bands is Max Cavalera. Having said that, now I want you all to think of that band that has cemented their position in the Brazilian thrash metal scene for a very long time: formed in 1983, released 4 studio albums and 1 EP, and created the ultimate thrashterpiece back in 1991 with the (sadly overlooked) Mass Illusion. Yes, I'm talking about the one and only Korzus. They're back with a bang with a brand new album, Discipline Of Hate, after 6 years.

Discipline Of Hate was released in 2010, and we all know how tight thrash metal was in that year. There were some awesome releases from the likes of [band]Tortured Squad[/i], Overkill, Lich King, Black Anvil, and Exodus. So, the competition is tight for a band like Korzus, a feral Slayer-type thrash outfit with plenty of groove steering each song. Discipline Of Hate follows that same formula. It's straight up-fucking-thrash on your weak face. It's certainly tight, crisp, polished and filled with modern chugging thrash riffs. Vocalist Marcello Pompeu does his best Tom Araya impersonation. There's a truckload of crushing riffs going back and forth, constantly pummeling you. The drummer beats his drum kit like any good thrash drummer. The atmosphere is pure rage - an excellent blend of old school revivalist and contemporary thrash.

However, after reaching the halfway point of the album it becomes a little repetitive which could potentially bore the listener. I thought the drumming could have helped in this area with some variation and a change in beat from time to time, but it remains the same throughout. But overall this is a fantastic record with really good thrash material, one any thrash fan would be proud to have in their collection.

Highlights: "Truth", "My Enemy", "Never Die" and "You Reap What You Sow"

Well I did a review of Insurrection's Fracture... and I'm still waiting for a proofread on Infernal Majesty's None Shall Defy.

Good review. But terribly extremely average thrash like everything before on all of their albums.

Horrible blooper of linking done.

Wrong tags used. I don't think I can't edit it.

Fully agree. Comparing with Mass Illusion, this is pretty much dried up. But, I still believe it has elements which makes this release much stronger than in other works done by Korzus.
