Forgotten Canadian death-thrashers Infernal Majesty only really have one album of note, their 1987 LP ‘None Shall Defy’. This is the opening track of the album, with infectious vocal lines and dirty riffing. The album plays out in a satisfying and punishing way, with the murky, rather clean guitar tone being unique to this work.
The band itself was late to the thrash scene, so any impact this album could have made was completely ignored by an over-saturated market. They haven’t ever truly broken-up, but have been plagued by lineup issues and an apparent lack of interest. They recorded a concert recently wherein the performed ‘None Shall Defy’ in its entirety, but the preview-video features a lack-luster crowd, and as far as I know, they haven’t released anything since 2007; which saw the release of the ‘Demon God’ EP, and featured a rerecorded “SOS” guest-starring Corpsegrinder of Cannibal Corpse.
Other highlights of this album are the title track, “SOS” and “Into the Unknown”.
None Shall Defy is a forgotten classic, and is totally worth the bandwidth or money for it if you see it in a store somewhere.
