Prepare for the sonic onslaught as UK thrashers Desolator return with their ferocious new full-length album Spirit of Speed set for independent release on April 26, 2025 . True to its name, the album is an unrelenting barrage of speed metal fury – a testament to Desolator’s unwavering commitment to fast, loud, and neck-snapping riffs.

Their music blends the classic aggression of thrash with an infectious sense of melody and dual vocal savagery. Spirit of Speed captures the band’s essence: no frills, all thrills.
Produced, mixed, and mastered by Mike Taylor at Mutant Labs , the album delivers razor-sharp precision and raw power in equal measure. Fans of Whiplash , Razor , and Kreator will find themselves right at home in the chaos.
