Like a bat out of hell, thrash attack Gamerra is coming at you hard and fast from Lafayette, Louisiana, USA. Their sound can be summed up as if Ghoul were written by doomsday preppers hopped up on PCP that listen to too much Revocation. They have a shiny new EP out that will scratch your thrash itch by filling your ears with tight riffs and speedy solos. âCouillon Death Squadâ provides a twenty-minute thrash ride over three tracks that expand on the lore of the band. They explain the release:
âOver the years we have gotten a lot more intense and progressive musically and the vocal patterns and lyrics have gotten considerably more mature (not in content, but in quality). Weâre pretty far forward from the sound people heard on âDetached from Realityâ (2019). We hope that people will enjoy âCouillon Death Squadâ. It is a big step up from our previously released material and weâre sure people will notice the difference.â
The EP features a varied collection of music, the first song and the last are polar opposites of each other. The opener âCouillon Death Squadâ is fast and furious with a slower section in the middle and has a short runtime; the closer âSugar Mill Headhuntâ is slower, chunkier, and spaced out with a speedy section in the middle and a long runtime. The middle song âH.O.A.â has a Havok vibe to it, a good jam song for the classic thrash fans to sink their teeth into with a deadly solo. Gamerra definitely put a focus on holding the listenerâs interest on this one.
âCouillon Death Squadâ was produced by lead guitarist/vocalist Jacob Broussard and lead vocalist Jake Meche; it was mixed by Broussard, Meche, and guitarist Reece Benoit and mastered by Broussard. The EP art was done by Splezz.
Fast, weird, fun, and heavy, âCouillon Death Squadâ is classic thrash suitable for any maniacs, especially those who enjoy Exodus, Death, and Warbringer.

About: A good-time thrash band seeking the ultimate jam. Mixing in spicy doses of death metal and progressive metal, producing a sound akin to a fusion of Exodus and Death with the intense vocal patterns and delivery of Warbringer, the aggressive and experimental leanings of Revocation, the ferocious rhythm guitar tone of early Meshuggah, and the attitude and fun-loving vibes of Havok, all played in the spirit of old school Sepultura. Through many lineup changes, Gamerra survives in the new decade. Despite consistently not having a drummer, and still lacking a bassist, Jacob Broussard, Jake Meche, and Reece Benoit persist on and will continue to write, record, and release music in the hopes of catching the ears of musicians that might be interested in playing for them.

âBorn from friendship and a love of commenting on the world around them, thrash metal band Gamerra is making a name for itself around Acadiana… âDetached from Reality- available on iTunes- relies on observation of sociopolitical happenings and even touches on past events such as the Vietnam War.â – Miranda Davis from 008 Magazineâ
