Criminal

The Profile

Criminal is an Anglo‑Chilean thrash/death metal band formed in 1991 in Santiago, Chile, later operating between Chile and the United Kingdom. Their catalog spans hard‑hitting albums such as Dead Soul, Sicario, White Hell, Akelarre, and Sacrificio.

Details based on DeBaser reviews and publicly available, verifiable sources up to 2024.

The lone review tackles White Hell: a modern, Bay Area‑tinged thrash/death assault with big riffs, sharp solos, and explosive drums. Production is praised as “divine” and the groove is a highlight. Critiques target clear influences (Machine Head/At The Gates), length, and a professional polish that feels derivative. Verdict: competent and powerful, but not especially original.
