Towards Idiocracy is the third full length album from Spain’s premier thrash metal battle tank, Holycide. Following on from 2023s rampaging EP, Bazookiller, Towards Idiocracy is armed to the teeth with machinegun riffs and prophecies of destruction; a completely uncompromising thrash attack on the soulless avarice, self-serving arrogance and blind stupidity of mankind and its crumbling towers, built upon the rotting carcass of this once paradisiacal world. Opening with the pit-inducing anthem ‘A.I. Supremacy’ Towards Idiocracy is utterly invested with the spirit of thrash metal and tracks like the neck-snapping ‘Remote Control’ trample over modern trends and influences, leaving them bleeding in the dust, torn apart by scything solos, devastating drum artillery and the confrontational vocal prowess of front man Dave Rotten (Avulsed). A glorious, faithful cover of the Atrophy classic ‘Chemical Dependency’ fits perfectly into the Holycide assault, emphasising the band’s thrash mastery and dedication. Teeth-grindingly intense, Towards Idiocracy is inarguably Holycide’s finest release to date, featuring more top class riffs than most bands can muster in an entire career. The sheer firepower unleashed by the likes of ‘Angry For Nothing’ and ‘Pleased To Be Deceived’ is just breathtaking. With Towards Idiocracy Holycide have driven their standard through the fractured skull of modern metal and screamed out a challenge to all-comers.
