Dan Quayle Thrash that is sticking firmly to its heavy metal roots. A fun listen. Favorite track: Rising Embers.

kyrgiannis It's a great debut album, considering the vocal quality as well as the superb genre marriage that's been going on right here. Definitely a head-banger. Favorite track: Holy Macabre.

Sean Hampton Wow this is a really cool album , kinda throws me back to the mid late 90s when thrash was becoming more like progressive death . This is a real treat if you like killer guitar melodies and riffs , leads , solos . They from the Bay Area and you can tell , there really is kind of a testament , Bay Area thrash vibe but with death vocals . Cool shit .

about

Formed in San Francisco during fall of 2017, MOLTEN are a quintet heavily versed in Death, Thrash and Doom Metal with elements of Prog, Classical and even Hardcore. After the release of their eponymous self-titled 2019 EP, they went straight to work with producer Greg Wilkinson (Deathgrave, Vastum, Necrot) at Earhammer Studios in Oakland, CA, on their debut LP “Dystopian Syndrome”.

With their debut full length, the band were focused on creating a darker, more evil, yet equally melodic and accessible sound for fans of extreme music. Their musical themes shift from war, corrupt politicians, inner turmoil, Fantasy, Horror, and Earth’s demise in a seamless but terrifying way that transports the listener into the setting of each track. All fans of heavy music in general, MOLTEN came together to create their own version of the music they idolized for years, adding their own fresh yet grimy taste into the flaming furnace that is MOLTEN metal.

about

MOLTEN San Francisco, California

“…an excellent debut album and it is driven by the melodic and harmonic guitar play. While drums, bass, and vocals provide a strong backbone, the guitars stand out on the album… an album that should belong to the collection of every thrash metal and melodic death metal fan. 9/10” – Metal Temple ... more
