Rageflower – Awaiting (*NEW-CD, 2021, Soundmass) Ultra Rare Aussie Prog THRASH Metal!RAGEFLOWER… interesting name for a thrash band, but that’s how it began for this band from Perth, Western Australia.
Thrash that was aggressive, yet full of melody, regular tempo changes and mellow interludes. This sound was captured on their debut (cassette-only) 6-song EP “Awaiting” in 1995. The vocal variation on this recording – clean, yelled, growled – matched the diversity of the music perfectly and they were economical with the lyrics, making every word count. We would call this “clever” thrash – something a little outside the box… a sign of things to come.
