American thrashers NUKEM are in the final preparations of their debut album “The Unholy Trinity”. The band revealed the cover and the track-list of the album and many more news/infos, you can read below.
“We wanted to sound like a band, not a bunch of Frankenstein parts quantized by a computer. We wanted to do it the way our idols did it.” – Steve Brogden, Vocalist/guitarist.
From the opening track “WarWolf”, the debut full length from San Diego’s NUKEM’ “The Unholy Trinity” executes this mission and moves far beyond the individual players to a focused unit.
Brogden’s partners in crime are drummer Norm Leggio (Psychotic Waltz) and bassist Don Lauder who form a rhythm section of military precision.
From the opener “WarWolf” to the closing notes of “Nukem All”, the disc bleeds with the vitality of early thrash taken a step further.
While cuts like “Lethal Injection” echo more obscure bands like Exciter while introducing elements that progress the genre’s potential to a higher level of intensity.
“The Unholy Trinity” does not just declare a new era of thrash, it honors its history and brings aforementioned idols into the fold. Jimmy Durkin (Dark Angel) guest solos on opener “WarWolf”, Laura Christine (Warface, Zimmer’s Hole) leaves her mark on on “The Deceiver” and “Nukem All” while Reese Scruggs (Havok) and Craig Locicero (Forbidden, Dress The Dead) trade solos on “The Atomic Age”.
The audacity of covering a Sabbath song, much less a deep cut Dio gem, is offset by the confident bordering on cocky execution of the song. Even the King himself gets thrashed on the cover of “Suspicious Minds”. The reverence for the material and love of the songs are clear in these moments.
The tracklist of the album is the following:
1. WarWolf
2. Evelyn’s Awakening
3. The Atomic Age
4. The Deceiver
5. Bloodseeker
6. T.V. Crimes (Black Sabbath Cover)
7. D.O.I.
8. Lethal Injection
9. Lucida Sidera
10. Nukem All
The video-clip of “Evelyn’s Awakening” premiere today in our official youtube-channel.

“The Unholy Trinity” will be released worldwide in 19 September 2016, in digipack edition.
