Under The Oak (Norway)




Under the Oak (Norway)
Digipack “Ripped Up by the Roots”

The legendary sound of the Norwegian band Under the Oak is epic at times but above all it takes you to the old school of the most brutal styles of the style that are still present and do not die thanks to proposals like this. From Fredrikstad, Viken starting its movement as a band in 2017 formed by: Marius, Thomas, Jostein, Steinar; they offer us a very aggressive and forceful style but always without evading the notorious influence of the classical school of style. Their album “Ripped Up by the Roots” released on September 25, 2020 with the Record Label WormHoleDeath is the band’s only one to date and is a great letter of introduction. When reviewing the entire album you can recognize the influence of bands like Exciter, Sanctuary among others, 12 songs make up this great album and reviewing line by line is a band with a supreme and quite superior sound and the guitar solos surprise and how the bass is a sharp knife in each note, an insane percussion and great bill and its vocal register really reminds great glories of the time as (+ Warrel Dane) among others and reaching great notes of truth Complicated. The album is aimed at thrash fans but who enjoy the classic part of the genre, I totally recommend it to enjoy with a cold beer.
