Aggressive Perfector--Come Creeping Fiends (CD/LP) {2026 Dying Victims Productions}


Hailing from the UK, this is the band's second full length and first release in seven years. Stylistically, Aggressive Perfector falls into no clean category. There are elements of thrash, heavy metal, and speed metal, often combined into the same song, all with lyrics about Satan and the occult, as it should be! Vocally, the singer uses a bit more of an obscure thrash style that borrows some aesthetics from black metal. It's hard to describe properly other than that. It's not necessarily a unique style, but the atmosphere he commands reminds me of early Running Wild and Destroyer 666 without sounding like either vocalist. It's a truly metalized performance. Perhaps that's what I could compare this to overall: Destroyer 666 playing Running Wild's instruments with Venom's attitude. Their songs even tend toward the anthemic at times, with big riffs and soaring melodies. It's true metal music for true metal people. If you like anything I described above, you will probably enjoy this release immensely. It's very good shit, and I highly recommend it.
