Bionic Swarm is the debut album of a band that has already released two full-lengths in the past. Are you confused?

Look that there will be possible names for a band, but they go and choose one practically the same as Cryptopsy's

This is one of the best records of the year, when it comes to the technical quality of the musical composition, without a doubt. But with so much talent being displayed, some of the tracks are almost "show off", which causes a little loss in the flow of the album and, consequently, the story presented in this concept album. Anyway, this is an impressive sample of the band's quality and another great thrash record in 2021.

Didn't find any charm with this one. Production quality and artwork were impressive.

Best record of the year! The producing on this album is absolute madness and the cover art is brutal. Technical Thrash from The Netherlands!

Super fast, technically impressive, dystopian sci-fi concept album - reminds me very much of Vektor!
However, while Vektor has a unique singing style, this one here is just average. But otherwise very cool release - probably thrash metal album of the year for me!

Good melodic thrash metal. Doesn't reinvent the wheel but does what is supposed to. The last song sounds like metal church's Alice in hell

I took my sweet time finally getting to this and shame on me. This shit is gas, Batman. High octane thrash that fills the void in my heart waiting for Vektor to get their shit together.
