Chemical Storm has emerged from the realm of musical obscurity and unleashed a powerful sonic explosion known as Digital Dementia. This EP is like a head-on collision with a stampede of enraged rhinos – chaotic, destructive, and utterly addictive.

The thrash metal band from Kent has clearly been intensively training and indulging in whiskey, resulting in a record that is raw and imbued with a beer-soaked essence. Tracks like "God Forbid" and "Shallow Hole" whirl around with heavy riffs, lightning-fast solos, and an abundance of double-bass drumming that can leave you reeling.

However, it is "Blunt Force Drama" that truly steals the spotlight. This track feels like a nuclear missile aimed directly at your face, possessing such weight that it could probably crush a beer can with its sheer sonic power. The title track, "Digital Dementia," serves as a fitting conclusion, presenting a dystopian nightmare against a thrash metal backdrop.

If you prefer your music with a side of neck strain and a generous attitude, then Digital Dementia is just what you need. Just remember to put on a helmet while listening – your mind might just explode.
