Canadian Thrash Metal legends, RAZOR, return with “Cycle Of Contempt”, their first new full-length album in 25 years, which will be released on September 23rd through Relapse Records. “Cycle Of Contempt” is a direct, cutthroat record that pulls no punches and takes no prisoners! The band has also unveiled an official lyric video for their new single “Flames Of Hatred”.
The last album that RAZOR released was 1997’s “Decibels”, which arrived six years after a run during which the band put out seven full-lengths in six years. The band has been referred to as one of the “Big Four” of Canadian Thrash Metal, alongside VOIVOD, ANNIHILATOR and SACRIFICE.
Guitarist Dave Carlo, states: “We are so psyched to finally offer this recording to our awesome and patient fanbase! It was our pleasure to make this for you and we sincerely hope you feel it was worth the wait. Play it loud my friends!”
And he adds: “I tried to write songs that everybody could listen to and say, ‘Yeah, I know a guy who’s done that to me or done this, or I know that situation. I can relate to that. And I didn’t want to make everything specifically about me because when you do that, you exclude people. I wanted to include everyone that’s ever felt pissed off about anything.”
