2025 Best of Metal: #6 Baest-Colossal

Release date: August 15, 2025
Origin: Aarhus, Denmark
Personnel: Simon Olsen-vox, Lasse Revsbech-guitar, Svend Karlsson-guitar, Mattias Melchiorsen-bass, Sebastia Abildsten-drums

These guys are fast becoming one of my favorite death metal bands. Their sound is just a fantastic combo of New Wave of British Heavy Metal and classic Bay Area thrash. It’s kind of death metal with a mischievous bent, as evidenced by the attached video. Colossal is simply their best album to date.
