Rezet

Rezet is a German speed and thrash metal band that has been forging their unique sound since their formation in 2003 in Schleswig, Germany. Founded by guitarist and vocalist Richard "Richy" Wagner, the band blends high-speed thrash with melodic elements, often drawing comparisons to classic acts like Megadeth. Their music is marked by powerful riffs, intense drumming, and dynamic songwriting, delivering a thrilling and energetic experience for metal fans. Over the years, Rezet has expanded their lineup and released multiple albums and EPs, including their notable self-titled 2024 album featuring tracks like "Unholy Grail" and "Duck & Cover" that showcase both speed and a darker, more dystopian tone.

The band's current lineup includes Richy Wagner on guitar and vocals, Nikolay Atanasov on lead guitar, Lorenz Kandolf on bass, and Bastian Santen on drums. Starting with their first major EP "Toxic Avenger" in 2008, Rezet has steadily risen in the German metal scene, gaining acclaim for their intelligent and timeless approach to metal. Their music combines thrash metal aggression with melodic craftsmanship, making them a standout act from northern Germany with a strong discography including the recent EP "New World Murder" and albums like "Truth in Between" (2021) and the 2024 release "Rezet".
