Prepare for a blistering assault of blackened thrash and speed metal with Fueled by Fear, the ferocious 2024 album from Indiana metal band Wraith. Released through Prosthetic Records, this 14-track powerhouse combines razor-sharp guitar riffs, relentless drumming, snarling vocals, and raw punk aggression into approximately 46 minutes of high-octane heavy metal.

Following 2021's Undo the Chains, Wraith push their old-school influences into darker, more intense territory. Drawing inspiration from classic thrash, speed metal, and the rebellious spirit of Motörhead, the band explores dystopian themes, political tension, religion, and the unsettling possibilities of a world driven by fear.

The album opens with the instrumental "Asylum" before exploding into the title track. Highlights include "Horses and Hounds," "Code Red," "Warlord," and the crushing singles "Merchant of Death" and "Heathen's Touch." The intensity continues through "Hell's Canyon," "Vulture," and the closing "The Breaking Wheel."

Self-produced by the band and engineered, mixed, and mastered by CJ Rayson, Fueled by Fear captures Wraith's aggressive sound and uncompromising energy.

An excellent addition for fans of old-school thrash, blackened speed metal, and furious, riff-driven heavy music.

Since 2016, Indiana™s Wraith have been emitting their incendiary brand of blackened thrash and speed metal into the world. Summer 2024 will see them release their debut full length under the Prosthetic Records label banner; prepare for Fueled By Fear. What started as a one-man band many moons ago has evolved into a propulsive beast of a band. Channeling a reverence to classic metal from a bygone era, Wraith incorporate their distinctively blistering sonic signature to create something urgent and contemporary. The band have previously described their collective mission as follows: a war of aggression on the dour confines of the modern metal scene and total sonic annihilation.

Fueled By Fear captures the raw punk edge of their previous releases; a sound that will already be familiar to converts who have caught the band live in all their full-throttled abrasive glory. The album was self-produced by the band in Griffith, Indiana -, with engineering, mixing and mastering handled by CJ Rayson. Each member brings their own influences and stylistic flourishes to the table, combining to create a tightly wound, cohesive collection of scorching tracks that reflect their individual personalities and tastes.

Thematically the album explores a dystopian landscape where the boundaries between fiction and reality are blurred, and global and political tensions form in a powder keg of fraught possibilities. Whilst the tales they weave are rooted in reality and an interest in religion, history and political science, they have given themselves free reign to explore the outer reaches of nightmarish possibilities. Back firmly in the real world, Wraith have a busy year of live shows planned and every intention of getting heads banging with their mosh-ready brand of snarling heavy
