Spoiled’s Collapse is a 15-track thrash/crossover album brimming with relentless energy, raw intensity, and a modern homage to the genre’s classic roots.

Italian thrash/crossover band Spoiled is back with their first full-length album, Collapse. Formed in 2016 by drummer Zibbo (Buffalo Grillz), Spoiled quickly made a name for themselves with their self-produced debut EP in 2018. After several lineup changes and a brief hiatus, the band reformed in 2021 with bassist Yari (Mind Knot) and guitarist Pekkia (Underball), injecting new energy into their sound.

Collapse is a relentless 15-track record that showcases Spoiled’s fierce dedication to the thrash genre. Recorded at the famed 16th Cellar Studio, which has worked with acts like Fleshgod Apocalypse and Hour of Penance, the album bursts with raw intensity and precision. Drawing inspiration from legendary acts like Slayer, D.R.I., S.O.D., Municipal Waste, and Ratos de Porão, the band delivers a modern take on the chaotic energy of classic thrash and crossover.

One standout track, "Zombie Hunters," packs a furious punch in just over a minute. True to their punk-influenced roots, Spoiled waste no time unleashing a torrent of heavy riffs and unrelenting beats. According to No Clean Singing, the song captures the essence of the band’s sound: fast, aggressive, and unapologetic.

Released through a collaboration between Portuguese labels Gruesome Records and Selvajaria Records, Collapse is available as a jewel case CD with an eight-page booklet. The album’s production highlights the precision of its musicianship, with every guitar riff and drumbeat delivered at a breakneck pace. Fans of the genre will appreciate the homage to thrash’s gritty past while enjoying the band’s unique energy and flair.

Spoiled’s journey through the underground metal scene has been marked by perseverance and growth, and Collapse is the culmination of their hard work. This album is perfect for listeners seeking high-speed, no-frills metal with an edge.

Spoiled’s ability to capture the raw spirit of thrash while infusing it with their distinctive energy makes them a standout in today’s heavy music scene. Collapse is a must-listen for fans of old-school thrash and crossover. Whether you’re nostalgic for the genre’s gritty origins or looking for something to ignite your inner headbanger, Spoiled’s latest effort delivers.
