Today we have the privilege of sharing an early stream of ‘Under Sadistic Law‘ the debut EP from Dalarna, Sweden-based black/thrash metal duo ZADISM. Formed between drummer E. Kosjanov and vocalist, guitarist, bassist L. Edmarker (Retribution) after the fall of speed metal quartet Maniak these folks aim for menacing and primal late 80’s style extreme thrash as they present this howling arrival squarely built upon the riff. Owing their souls to everything from the Warfare Noise affront to the outbreak of evil Teutonic thrash in the mid-80’s Zadism speak loudly to the auld underground where pushing ancient speed metal into horror and wrath didn’t mean betraying the flow of iron.

Thanks goes out to De:Nihil Records, Dala Destroi Records, Zadism and their representatives for the opportunity to share this EP early.

Per the Press Release:

From the blackened mines of Bergslagen and rising from the ashes of the now‑defunct band Maniak, Sweden’s ZADISM emerge as an unholy force bent on obliterating restraint.

Guided by the spirit of the early Brazilian underground (you know the ones – disfigured riffs, filthy production, uncompromising aggression) and the savage blueprint laid down by the German thrash metal pioneers at the dawn of the scene, this duo brings a sound steeped in raw violence and fury.

Their debut EP “Under Sadistic Law”, out 21 November via De:Nihil Records and Dala Destroi Records, is a concentrated dose of extremity: short, brutal and unrelenting. ZADISM don’t just honour the relics of the past: they inject them with fresh, virulent energy and drag them screaming into the present.

Tracklist:

1. Ernestine
2. Victims of the Sadistic Whip
3. Under Sacred Soil
4. Chapel of Scum
5. Coprophilian Nightmare
