HELLADDICT Unleashes “Sudden Death”: A Fierce Tribute to Classic Thrash with a Modern Bite

With their latest track “Sudden Death”, Santiago-based metal force HELLADDICT proves that the spirit of thrash is alive, snarling, and more potent than ever. Featured on their newly released EP (February 1, 2025), the song explodes with razor-sharp guitar riffs, relentless drumming, and an unapologetically raw energy that channels the unyielding attitude of the ‘80s and ‘90s metal scene.

Drawing influence from giants like Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer, as well as national legends such as Criminal and Dorso, HELLADDICT doesn’t just mimic their heroes; they amplify them with a modern Chilean edge. 

“Sudden Death” hits hard from the first chord, fusing speed, aggression, and rebellious lyricism into a sound that feels both nostalgic and freshly dangerous. The dual-vocal attack, thick bass lines, and tightly executed solos create a sonic wall that demands attention.

Behind the fury lies a band with clear intent: to cement their place in both national and international metal stages. With members in their 40s bringing decades of experience, HELLADDICT channels maturity into precision, while keeping the raw chaos intact. “Sudden Death” is not just a song, it’s a battle cry, a reminder that thrash metal’s heartbeat still thunders loud in Santiago.
