Stagewar, the thrash n’ roll band from the metropolitan area of Frankfurt, Germany, continues to attract our attention, this time with an EP, titled “Interlude to Self-Destruction”. This new release is an interesting addition to the band’s catalog, which will satisfy the fans of the band and in general, thrash metal enthusiasts. Of course, what you will hear in this new EP won’t change your life – Stagewar don’t redefine their genre, don’t reinvent thrash metal and don’t bring us something new. Is that negative? Of course not, because Stagewar themselves don’t want to bring something new, they just want to play thrash n’ roll the old-fashioned way and keep the flame burning. And they achieve that, performing with passion and conviction, giving us a release, which is descent, well-executed and encapsulates a perfect mix of thrash metal with rock n’ roll. If you are into raw, savage and furious heavy metal, you read the right review! Stagewar are here, alive and kicking, and their full-throttle attack will leave you speechless and wanting more! Search for this band and its latest instalment and you will get excited. Long live thrash n’ roll!
