Denver's Weapönizer have been waging black/thrash war since 2011, bringing the classic Teutonic-style extremity of the form to a city whose altitude seems to sharpen everything into something more dangerous. The umlaut is earned: their music operates in the savage tradition of early Kreator and Sodom filtered through American blackened aggression. Relentless, deliberately raw, and built for maximum hostile impact.
