{"product_id":"rapid-enter-the-realm-of-fire-cd","title":"Rapid - Enter the Realm of Fire - CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt was but 2022 when RAPID released their debut mini-album, Blackstar Oppression Regime, via DYING VICTIMS. Here, the Finnish power-trio had sharpened their sound into something compelling and uncategorizable. The urgency of hardcore punk, the hook-oriented propulsion of speed metal, and the spidery aura of old-wave black metal all collided into something that was electric the second you pressed “play.” Subtly unique, Blackstar Oppression Regime also suggested that RAPID had ever more in their tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, RAPID unload their fullest arsenal with the debut album Enter the Realm of Fire. Arriving over a decade since their original formation, this first full-length displays the patience and hard graft that should come with a band’s debut album – one gauntlet grasping their foundational past, and a hand on the torch for the future. Indeed, that mini-album sported some lead lines that could’ve come from classic deathrock, but on Enter the Realm of Fire, they’re in full bloom, connecting the dots from turn-of-the-‘80s heavy metal to contemporaneous underground rumblings that should be immediately apparent to only true believers. That the hot-rockin’ takes precedence in RAPID’s current attack doesn’t make their ancient musings any less urgent; rather, these more flowing and delayed-gratification constructions serve songwriting that’s stronger overall and more charismatic than ever. To that, bassist Vincent Revenge’s vocals have become both clearer and grimier, approximating an off-the-rails crypt-keeper narrating nefarious deeds; simply witness the epic closing title track for ghoulishly poignant proof. Or, really, dispense with the fancy words, Enter the Realm of Fire, and be mesmerized by RAPID’s olde-worlde metal anarchy!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hidden\"\u003eThis item is available for pre-order.
