Canada’s INFRARED Take Aim With Their Thrash Metal Hit “Concuss”

New Album “Manifestation” Out Sept 2024

Infrared is true Canadian thrash metal, which initially started in 1986. After a hiatus, they re-emerged in 2016 and have put out a handful of albums since then. Their latest offering is the full-length “Manifestation”, which will be released on September 6, 2024. Ahead of this, they are releasing their second single “Concuss” with a video. They share their thoughts:

“This is a song that was a forced collaboration right from the start of the songwriting process. While Kirk had these great grooving riffs to build the song, the chorus pops with an all-out chant and in-your-face riff that makes you want to hit stuff which was brought to the table by Armin. As usual, Mike and Al ensure the rhythm section is exactly what is needed to get fists pumping.”

They go on to explain that “Concuss” is a straight-up anthem song about retaliating against those who stand in your way, but also a tip of the hat to all those crazy metalheads that hop in the pit and destroy.

Having emerged from the 80s thrash scene, Infrared‘s music is steeped in the same intensity that defined the genre’s pioneers. “Manifestation” continues this tradition, offering a streamlined, intense listening experience that captures the essence of classic thrash. It is recommended for fans of Anvil, Exciter, and Sacrifice.
