Nocturnal Graves crank up the rawness and savagery on this new album. Australian black/thrash is often above the rest and An Outlaw’s Stand is no exception. Titan was a little more polished than its predecessors, but here they let loose again and go out all guns blazing with fast, raw and chaotic black/thrash throughout and even a few passages that borrow from New York-style death metal here and there (don’t blink or you could miss those). The genre has been overcrowded for the past few years, but Nocturnal Graves are not about to leave their place to newcomers.
