"Thvg Anthem" is a track from the upcoming Thvg EP by the Lahore based crossover thrash metal trio Foreskin. The song starts at a moderate tempo riff and soon transitions to a faster thrash tempo. Vocalist Hassan Umer is spewing venom on this track: the sharp edges have not been filed off the lyrics or the vocal delivery. The song is clearly meant to be and manages to be an unrestrained punch in the face and stays unapologetically true to the thrash ethos. But if you think this is all form and no substance, think again. Sheraz Ahmed and Amar Ali are ripping on the guitars, from the solos and the "good time" riff at 1:46 to the breakdown outro. This song has it all: fast tempos, heavy riffs and a spoken word. Bottom line: this song is both a statement of intent and a sign of good things to come. Pakistani metal fans should be looking forward to the release of the band’s upcoming EP. I missed their live set at the Youth Performing Arts Festival at Peeru’s Café this past October; big mistake.
