If you’re into thrash metal or even if you’re not, Helladdict’s new self-titled EP might surprise you in the best way. This Chilean band delivers a powerful punch with just three tracks, but each one is packed with energy, attitude and raw talent. Whether you understand Spanish or not, the force of their music speaks loud and clear.
The EP kicks off with “Sombras” and right from the start, you feel the fire. The vocals are fierce and the guitars rip through the speakers with amazing solos and fast and sharp riffs. It’s heavy, yes, but also clean and full of emotion. There’s something magnetic about the way it all comes together, it grabs your attention and doesn’t let go.
Next up is “Puño de Hierro” which brings even more aggression. The vocals hit harder here, with a sense of urgency that fits perfectly with the fast rhythm. Even if you don’t speak Spanish, you’ll feel the message behind the song through its sound. The band doesn’t hold back at all, they go full speed with tight production that keeps everything balanced and strong.
Finally, the EP closes with “Nuclear War” and what an ending it is. This track is an explosion of harsh vocals, pounding drums and gritty guitar work. It shows just how creative and serious Helladdict is about their music. This song feels like a final statement, a loud and clear shout from a band that knows exactly who they are.
What stands out most about Helladdict is their confidence and originality. They’re not just copying old-school thrash, they’re honoring it while adding their own fresh style. You can hear their love for the genre, especially from the classic ’80s and ’90s sound, but it never feels dated. Instead, it feels alive and full of purpose. In just three songs, the band proves they have what it takes to make a name for themselves not just in Chile, but around the world. Their music is powerful and full of rebellion. If you love fast and heavy music with soul and fire, give this EP a listen. You won’t regret it.
