||  WITCHTRAP is an old school thrash metal power trio band formed   ||
||  by the two brothers Carlos Uribe a.k.a. Burning Axe Ripper &     ||
||  Hugo Uribe a.k.a. Witchhammer in Medellín - Colombia. The band   ||
||  started in early 1992 under the name "Dark Millennium", playing  ||
||  classic death metal, but a year later changed their style to     ||
||  thrash metal and the band's name turned to WITCHTRAP.            ||

||  By now, the Colombian power-trio of WITCHTRAP should require no  ||
||  introduction. Since 1992, these maniacs have been flying the     ||
||  flag of hate for evil thrash and speed metal with no compromise  ||
||  and no quarter given. Across five full-lengths and twice as      ||
||  many EPs, demos, and splits, WITCHTRAP have perfected a sound    ||
||  that's eminently classic but undeniably their own. Their energy  ||
||  is utterly addicting; simply put, WITCHTRAP are equally evil     ||
||  and fun.                                                         ||

||  Thankfully, "same as it ever was" with WITCHTRAP and their       ||
||  long-overdue sixth album, Hungry as the Beast. While it's been   ||
||  four years since the preceding Evil Strikes Again - indeed, it   ||
||  did! - the Colombians show no signs of slowing down or wimping   ||
||  out on Hungry as the Beast, thus proving its title and then      ||
||  some. Released earlier this year on CD in South America via the  ||
||  band's own Dirty Sound Records, this worldwide edition of        ||
||  Hungry as the Beast should more than satiate the demonic lust    ||
||  of WITCHTRAP's fervent legions, proving that their urgency is    ||
||  as potent as ever even if the length of time between albums      ||
||  grows. We should only be so lucky to have this Hunger, that      ||
||  by-now-characteristic foundation of Welcome to Hell-meets-Evil   ||
||  Invaders, and that WITCHTRAP can sharpen their blades in such a  ||
||  manner without coming off too clean. As they state about their   ||
||  modest goals here, "We were only focused on impressing our fans  ||
||  with our music and artwork and not from pictures or imagery      ||
||  trends as nowadays all bands do."                                ||

||  WITCHTRAP are nothing if not pure and true and totally           ||
||  grassroots; it's heavy metal for heavy metal maniacs, where old  ||
||  songs like "Death to False Metal" resound with profundity for    ||
||  they are authentic expressions of a band who not only believe    ||
||  it, but LIVE it. "Music, aggression, and attitude - it's the     ||
||  real important thing about metal to us." Feast forever with      ||
||  Hungry as the Beast!                                             ||
