U.S. blackened thrash trio WRAITH have announced their forthcoming new album, Absolute Power. The wounds left by the 2018 full-length debut – Heed The Warning – still fresh, WRAITH is back with another deadly assault.
The new album is faster, heavier, meaner and a lot more pissed off than their previous releases. Absolute Power has a perfect blend of speed metal and thrash metal with a punk attitude. The album is nine originals and a Misfits cover that results in 28 minutes of no bullshit speed and thrash.

WRAITH will release Absolute Power on August 16.
