This week in Heavy Consequence's Heavy Song of the Week, Fugitive's 'Spheres of Virulence' takes the top spot, marking the Texas band's return after two years. Emerging from the shadows of Power Trip following Riley Gale's death, Fugitive, featuring guitarist Blake Ibanez and vocalist Seth Gilmore, has carved out a distinctive identity. While previous releases bore similarities to Power Trip, 'Spheres of Virulence' embraces an '80s speed-thrash style with traces of early death metal, showcasing the bandâs growth and originality. Honorable mention goes to Faster Pussycat's catchy single 'Motorbike,' proving they still have a flair for memorable hooks.
Fugitive's first new music in two years, 'Spheres of Virulence,' is one of the best thrash offerings of 2025 thus far, showcasing a more refined sound.
Fugitive emerges as a new entity in the thrash scene, distancing itself from its Power Trip origins and tapping into '80s speed-thrash and death metal influences.
