   ||  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!                                             ||
