Savage New Times is a no-holds-barred assault—a half hour of just pure intensity.

Incite delivers a blistering album that’s equal parts raw aggression and refined musicianship, reaffirming their place as one of modern metal’s most relentless forces. Across its ten tracks, and just over 32 minutes of runtime, the record captures the chaos and grit of a band that thrives on energy, precision and a feral sense of purpose. While Incite has always blended thrash roots with hardcore attitude, this album shows them pushing that hybrid sound to its sharpest edge yet, offering a set of songs that never waste a second on filler.

The opener, “Lies,” sets the tone immediately with razor-edged riffs and scorching vocals that feel like a call to arms. The song’s tight structure and focused aggression make it an ideal introduction, instantly placing the listener in Incite’s unrelenting world. From there, the band dives straight into “Feel This Shit (I’m Fired Up),” a sub-three-minute barrage of frenetic drumming and barked vocals that perfectly captures the adrenaline of a live pit. This quick, no-nonsense style runs throughout much of the album, making Savage New Times feel like a punk-infused metal assault, where songs hit hard and fast but still maintain a sense of groove.

Tracks like “Just a Rat” and “Chucked Off” continue this relentless pace, each brimming with crunchy, palm-muted riffs and snarling vocal hooks. Incite’s knack for writing riffs that feel both punishing and memorable shines here, and the tight production helps highlight every thundering drum hit and jagged guitar note. By the time “Doubts and the Fear” arrives, the band starts to incorporate a bit more dynamic tension, with shifts in tempo and mood that give the album breathing room without losing intensity.

The standout centerpiece, “Dolores,” at over five minutes, is a masterclass in pacing. It opens with a sludgier, doom-laden vibe, allowing the band’s musicianship to stretch beyond pure aggression. Layered guitar work and a more ominous vocal approach create a sense of foreboding, and the track’s length allows it to build and release tension in a way that makes it feel like a highlight of the record. This slower, heavier atmosphere contrasts beautifully with the high-octane cuts that follow, like “No Mercy No Forgiveness” and “Used and Abused,”—both snap back into breakneck speed and searing intensity.

Closing with “Savage New Times,” Incite brings the album full circle with a track that distills their signature sound into two-and-a-half minutes of sheer fury. The album’s concise runtime works to its advantage, leaving listeners exhilarated rather than exhausted. Each track is a snapshot of Incite’s dedication to aggression, groove and no-frills songwriting.

Savage New Times feels like a statement of intent from a band that knows its identity and is not afraid to push forward. Incite continues to honor the groove-thrash tradition while injecting enough modern edge and personality to carve out their space in the scene. It’s an album that rewards repeat listens, each spin revealing new layers beneath the chaos.
