Black Thrashing Terror is the first EP from English retro thrash-metal newcomers Cultfinder. The music reminisces of bands such as Necrophobic, Nifelheim and the early works of Sodom - fast-paced thrash metal with a large dose of black metal. It's not a genre where it's easy to stand out but Cultfinder manage to capture my interest by well-written songs and good riffs.

The title track kicks off the EP and it's definitely a strong number, with strong riffs and a simple but addictive chorus. The production is of course slightly rough but after listening to countless hours of over-produced, modern thrash metal there is something refreshing about it although the drums perhaps could have been toned down a little.

The other two songs feel a little rougher around the edges but still offer some variation and change the tempo up. Overall, I'm not blown away but this EP is definitely a decent listen, especially considering that it's their first release apart from demos. I'll keep an eye out for their future releases.
