There seem to be a couple of different Persecution/Persecuted bands out there – this is the one from Michigan. As the name would suggest, they do play an extreme style of music. They start off as kind of a plodding/driving thrash metal band with near shouted vocals, but then layer in some growls and grind elements. “Northern Comfort” is straight up thrash metal with female co-lead vocals layered in and a couple of near growls. It’s a pretty cool mixture. The musicianship is a little sloppy in places, but that could have been cleaned up in a studio with some more time. But still some interesting ideas, which you can listen to courtesy of the Scene and Unseen Music Club below:
