Godslave

Five years on from Positive Aggressive, Godslave are back with their self-titled album, and it feels like a real statement of intent. After pushing through internal struggles, the Saarland thrash crew have delivered their most collaborative record to date. Godslave moves confidently across brutal thrash and more epic, melodic ground, showing a wider reach without losing the band’s edge. There’s also a guest appearance from Laura Guldemond, adding another sharp hit of character to the mix. What really lands here is the energy: hopeful, positive, and still firmly rooted in German metal. It’s a record that sounds hard-won and fully alive.
