MB Premiere: RECKLESS - 'Sharp Magick Steel'
Today, in cooperation with Dying Victims Productions, we are thrilled to present the title track 'Sharp Magick Steel' from RECKLESS' debut album.
Hailing from Bogota, RECKLESS are a Colombian speed metal band formed in 2019 by vocalist/guitarist W. Metalbringer. He was soon joined by bassist Jawbreaker, who brings a solid & heavy foundation to their compositions; drummer Rites666, who drives the band's frantic pace; and guitarist Spitfire, who complements the main riffing with blistering, passionate solos. With a solid foundation of Judas Priest, Accept, Running Wild, Slayer, Exodus, and Mercyful Fate, RECKLESS soon made their public debut with the two-song Relentless Assault / Prisoner single. Through those influences, the quartet displayed a distinct synthesis of thrash metal propulsion and classic heavy metal melodicism, arriving at a style of speed metal that's timeless and fresh.
Now, RECKLESS burst forth with a full display of their powers and potential, the debut album Sharp Magick Steel. Almost too perfectly titled, Sharp Magick Steel is a cruising and chrome-encased blast of judiciously tight aggression and invigorating, streamlined songwriting. RECKLESS here invoke their namesake by pushing the pedal to the literal metal, pumping pistons and pushing each of these eight songs forward with a locomotive thrust, but it's equally the deceptively patient execution which makes Sharp Magick Steel cut so thoroughly: these four metal warriors are totally in control, and they make it look – and sound – almost too easy. And, from cover art (courtesy of Velio Josto) on to the authentically vintage production, RECKLESS rage like it's 1988!
Sharp Magick Steel will be released by Dying Victims Productions on October 20th, 2023 on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

Jawbreaker - Bass
Spitfire - Guitar
