Thunder Volt – Wild Ride
Self-released – 2025
Metal, Doom, Sludge, Black
Rated: ***
They’ve added a fourth member, turned a blackened corner and burnt everything down to a cinder. It’s the new six track release called Wild Ride by Moscow, Russia four piece Thunder Volt. The new main vocalist that growls and howls is Anna and this is her first outing with the three, who seem to have changed bass player as well. Hell, perhaps only the original drummer might be left. But that’s what you get when you enter the realm of Thunder Volt, it’s volatile, it’s filthy, dangerous and one hell of a Wild Ride. Back in 2021 we wrote about their Entering The Cave and Wanted Man releases. There’s little left of that original sound, sure, there is still doom and gloom, but the smoldering vocals lay waste to all Thunder Volt brought back then. This is apocalyptic doom metal, ten ton heavy on delivery, but not too dense, so one can still breathe and appreciate the view across the hellish tarpits. The Wild Ride is over within twenty five minutes and that’s the only part that seems a little light when it comes to the new Thunder Volt. But knowing Thunder Volt, they will be back soon enough and probably with an entirely new outlook on their sound, their metal and their destructive attitude…
