Genre: Thrash metal
Persecutor plays thrash metal with sharp riffs, energetic grooves and a melodic edge. The music moves through tempo changes and multi-part guitar harmonies in an expression that unites heaviness, variation and joy of playing.
The band’s sound is based on classic thrash, but is lifted by tight arrangements and dynamic shifts that give both bite and breadth. The result is uncompromising and melodic, a sound that hits hard, but sticks.
The songs are cut to the bone, intense, varied and carried by a joy of playing with heaviness. The lyrics balance the dark and the ironic, delivered with clear attitude and constant intensity.
Persecutor does not try to reinvent thrash, they play it the way it should sound. Live, the band is a concentrated burst of nerve, energy and teamwork. Everything superfluous is cut away, leaving pure energy and raw focus.
