Ruins, the new album from German extreme thrashers Panzer Squad, explodes with energy and an obsession with speed. Panzer Squad work fast, pushing Ruins out just two years after debut album Coming to Your Town, now a more slimmed-down group.
The result is a mix of speed and thrash metal, proudly flying the flag of their influences which seem to include Sodom, Toxic Holocaust, Bathory and bands in their vein. Lace up your high tops and grab your denim vest; this is Panzer Squad’s Ruins.
