Supersonic
metal from an alternate universe. Yes, I’m talking about
TERRA CAPUT MUNDI. This three piece band hails from the
wastelands of St. Louis, Missouri and they’re ready to thrash
your face off and take control of the planet. Lost In The
Warp is their second full length and although it’s
independently released on cassette and CD, I predict it won’t
be long before a record company or two takes notice of this ultra
heavy thrash band.
Inquisitor’s
Inquest gets things moving at warp speed. The vocals of bassist
Jared Brewer sound like a crossbreed between Schmier from German
thrash band Destruction mixed with the snarls of Dave Mustaine.
Truly crazy and unique. His high pitched squeals and screams will
catch you off guard. They definitely leave their mark and are
the backbone of what defines TERRA CAPUT MUNDI’s
sound. As the songs rage and thrash along its clear this band
knows how to have fun. DestructSean handles guitars and he’s
immeasurably fast. Galloping riffs with a crunch that could punch
a whole in the wall. Superior mind bending solos decorate every
song. Drummer Sarah brings utter chaos to the music with double
bass and furiously fast beats. There are some really fun thrashing
songs on here, like The Tank Crew that have over the top
gang vocals. If this song doesn’t get you head banging and
tearing the place apart then nothing will. A beer drinking anthem
in the midst. Sworn To The Saint sounds like the soundtrack
to a hobbit on a mission. TERRA CAPUT MUNDI also shows
their love for sci-fi on this album with the title track Lost
In The Warp. Another beer induced head banging fueled tune
featuring gang vocals. Lost In The Warp is extremely
well written and arranged for a second effort. This band knows
what they’re doing, fans of Destruction take note! Lost
In The Warp is a burning cosmic fuse waiting to explode.
TERRA CAPUT MUNDI went through a bit of change over the
last year, they combusted, lay dormant for awhile and then resurrected
and released this album. That’s truly sci-fi in itself.
