Stone Cold Black‘s ‘Superloud‘ is not just a collection of eleven songs: it’s a relentless forty-two-minute onslaught of eleven thunderous anthems.

Stone Cold Black‘s music is a rich tapestry of diverse influences, each resonating uniquely with every listener. For us, their sound evokes the early aggressive energy of Slayer, the raw, punk-inspired essence of Discharge, and a touch of grooviness and darkness in their musical spectrum. Stone Cold Black‘s music contains a strong undercurrent of German thrash metal, drawing parallels to bands like Kreator, Destruction, and Sodom. But it’s not just about borrowing from these influences. Superloud takes these elements/influences and weaves them into their unique sound, creating something familiar, new, their own and fresh.

The album comes to an end with the last song, Change the Flag… We want to give a shoutout to L.A. Riot for letting us review Stone Cold Black and their Superloud album. Now, we’re going to wrap it up by talking about the final three sins and concluding the review.
