HÖWLER

3rd album from 2026 by Costa Rican Thrash Metal outfit HÖWLER and another strong statement of the band's dedication to classic, no-nonsense Thrash Metal. Released four years after "Descendants of Evil", "Beyond Mortal Control" finds the band further refining its fast, aggressive and streetwise approach, firmly rooted in the spirit of the mid- and late-1980s Thrash scene. Featuring production work by Martin Furia and cover artwork by Andrei Bouzikov, the album remains completely faithful to the old-school philosophy that has defined HÖWLER from the beginning.

Within the band's catalog, this release further strengthens its reputation as one of Central America's most dedicated traditional Thrash Metal acts. Fast riffing, punchy choruses and relentless energy recall the classic American and German Thrash schools, avoiding unnecessary modern trends while preserving the raw excitement that made the genre so influential. The result is a dynamic and powerful album driven by the same passion that fueled the original Thrash Metal pioneers.
