“If you think Slayer quit too soon and love that early, gnarly Thrash sound with sick vocals, this band is for you!”
– Ghost Cult
“This is an exceptional debut. Quality, interesting Thrash.”
– New Noise Magazine
“One hell of a slab of old-school thrash.”
– The Metal Crypt
“It’s thrash and thrash that hits hard. Chupacabra make their debut in loud and head-banging fashion!”
– Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life
“A breakneck Speed Thrash affair, it’s a headbanger’s delight that leaves us like Oliver Twist, asking for more…”
– Metal Noise
“A high-energy homage to the big names in the genre, but with a unique, authentic twist. A strong debut.”
– Amplified Magazine
“CHUPACABRA are thrash loving beasts and the driving riffs and song structures provide the basis for a very solid EP that is likely to bring the Brits much more attention in months to come.”
– Female Fronted Power
“Fortified With Ashes is a volatile way for Chupacabra to make their entrance into the world of thrash metal.”
– Heavy Music Headquarters
“The riffs and vocals tick all the boxes for a thrash/death experience and it’s hard to pick a favourite from the 13 minutes of this aggressive melodious malevolent, maleficent metal mash-up.”
– Musipedia of Metal
And that’s not all! CHUPACABRA is providing all the music for the new audiobook edition of DX Ferris’ best-selling SLAYER biography, Slayer 66 & 2/3: A Metal Band Biography, Postmortem Remastered Edition, as well as the accompanying podcast, Talkin’ Slayer: A Metal Podcast and Half-@ssed Audiobook.
CHUPACABRA is the new project from three battle-scarred members of Bristol’s flourishing metal scene. Nige Savage (all instruments except lead guitar) and Heather Taylor (vocals) are former members of well-known local band Wytch; Heather was also the lead singer for acclaimed Bristol band Cybervoid. Alex Brent, formerly of Captive, rounds out the recording line-up on lead guitar.
CHUPACABRA bring the full-frontal, in-your-face force of relentless thrashing riffage as a platform for soaring, aggressive vocals that explore issues of toxic relationships, female empowerment, social injustice and the laid-bare rage of one disaffected member of a broken society. Heather Taylor reveals layers of herself threaded through the songs on a journey of venting unbound rage, breaking conditioned compliance and growing a new authentic skin.
