Folco Torva COT are an Italian pride. With no doubt this is their best work: great and powerful songwriting, awesome vocals and choruses. Favorite track: Desert City.

Lute FP I liked it at first spin, but when it finally clicked that this sounds like ‘85-era Celtic Frost revved up to speed metal RPMs I decided it was a keeper.

This is classic speed metal that stands out because it has a bit of a punk edge. It is fast and fun and never falls into the trap of sounding formulaic.

Edit: I can’t stop listening to these guys. They have complex song structures that always remain grounded in a neck-snapping thrashy groove.

IDE The first album in a long time from the great band that is essential to the metal punk movement of the 21st century is still dirty metal and raw punk. ★

about

HELLS HEADBANGERS is proud to present CHILDREN OF TECHNOLOGY's long-awaited third album, Written Destiny, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

It's been six long years since CHILDREN OF TECHNOLOGY released their now-classic second album, Future Decay, through HELLS HEADBANGERS. In that time, the Italian speed metalpunks have been busy cruising the post-apocalyptic wasteland, searching for ammo and gasoline. In the interim, they released a career-spanning collection of singles and splits, Apocalyptic Compendium - 10 Years in Chaos, Noise and Warfare, preparing for an even crueler future. Indeed, in these days of the Coronavirus pandemic, that future has arrived...

All the more fitting, then, that CHILDREN OF TECHNOLOGY return to rule that wasteland with their third full-length, Written Destiny. The death squad firmly established by DeathLörd and Borys Crossburn (BARBARIAN) has seen the new entry of Dee Dee Altar (Bunker 66), thus shaping a power-trio in the most classic '80s way. And compared to the COT's already-considerable catalog, this Written Destiny dashingly and dangerously powers headlong into the '80s underground, more resolutely upping the METAL in the crusty equation and spitting out eight new anthems that are equal parts gleam and grime. It's almost as if the power-trio took their well-worn tank, scrubbed some of the rust off, and gave it an engine pumped full of nitrous; this album simply CHARGES! Not surprisingly, the band's influences this time around are squarely focused on early Onslaught, Warfare, Venom, Anti-Cimex, Nuclear Assault, and Sacrilege UK - but what results is 666% CHILDREN OF TECHNOLOGY, with a charisma that's undeniable, and undeniably their own.

"Six years have passed since Future Decay," says DeathLörd, "a long period of time busy with raids all across the wasteland to scrape fuel for our supplies and records for our collections. Still loyal to our roots, we keep walking the ridge between metal and punk, careless whether that's trendy or not. With such a tight lineup, we have been able to deliver our most intense recordings ever. Harder. Faster. Stronger. Killer."

Suiting for this occasion is absolutely godly cover art courtesy of Velio Josto (Riot, Enforcer, Cruel Force, Vulture, Ostrogoth). Likewise, the vinyl version will come with a bonus 7" featuring an Onslaught cover and a reboot of an old demo song. If ever there was a time for CHILDREN OF TECHNOLOGY to return to rule the wasteland (or whatever's left of it), it's NOW - because it's Written Destiny!
