Replicated from a glass master, this Cd comes in a jewel case with a 12 page booklet. ” ‘Trial By Chaos’ begins with a breathless and bloodthirsty sprint. This is the first introduction to Bennett Smith as the second half of the guitar tandem with Gabriel Rosa, and they don’t skimp on fretboard fireworks. Meanwhile, Raider balance the melodic components of their sound with even more propulsion and power than past recordings. The result is an album that punches harder and is poised for pit-stirring success in a live setting. Despite the record’s frothing ferocity, Raider retain their focus on embodying positivity.” – Decibel Magazine “While there is a great deal of circle pit-inducing Thrash going on here, it’s the melodic moments that help Trial By Chaos (Self-Released) stand out. Tons of grooves and killer riffs are present here and the band manages to meld Thrash and Melodic Death Metal perfectly.” – Ghost Cult Magazine “Raider has released a monument to modern thrash metal and if there’s ever a new “Big Four, ” they have my vote. Ontario should be very proud.” – The Metal Wanderlust 5/5 Vocals & Lyrics – Angelo Bonaccorso Guitars – Gabe Rosa Guitars – Bennett Smith Bass – Brandon Sanders Drums – Angus Pike Recording – Nomadic Arts & Monolithic Productions Mixing – Monolithic Productions Mastering – Jamie King Audio Album Art – Mitchell Nolte
