Towards Rebirth is a critically acclaimed, high-velocity triumph that cements the Chilean quartet Ripper as one of South America's premier extreme metal exports. Released on July 24, 2026, via Dark Descent Records, this third full-length album marks the band's first major record in a decade, following 2016's Experiment of Existence. Fans and followers widely agree that the album is Ripper's most concise, aggressive, and finely perfectly executed work to date. the band packs three to four times more guitar riffs into their compositions than the average modern extreme metal band. Intricate tempo changes, complex bass depth, and drumming in this album by Carlos Fuentes who plays a major role and He's doing a great job, his work on this album is a true a display of strength, hailed by extreme metal fans for its technical precision, endurance energy and durability, because he maintains and preserves an extremely fast tempo, alternating between traditional thrash rhythms (D-beat) and death metal dynamics, in any case the result of this production is positive There are even fans who say it's the album of the year and praise the production for giving each instrument its own distinct voice while preserving a raw, punishing energy also the visual art are very fit reason to get positive reactions from fans, listeners, and reviewers , And above all, the production is organic, sharp, and balanced. It avoids the trap of a modern sound that is overly clean, clinical, or compressed A point that will greatly please the "old-schoolers" who hate the modern style. 

If we describe the feeling Towards Rebirth is a genuine rush of pure adrenaline. The album strikes you immediately with its blistering speed and raw violence. There is a sense of savage urgency typical of the South American extreme music scene and Chile have always a strong metal scene who I respect so much yet it is channeled through impressive technical mastery. It marks a powerful comeback after ten years of silence.

The album is a solid piece of old-school Death/Thrash metal. The tracks are lightning-fast, saturating the sonic space with riffs. Ripper shuns repetition a single song might pack three or four times as many riff variations as the genre average. The structures are complex, alternating between pure aggression and intricate rhythmic shifts in brief the lineup of ripper is gifted and It's for a reason Towards Rebirth is the album of the mounth and compared with great names by some reviewers like old Sepultura and old Kreator , Merciless and Morbid saint in any case it’s in the vein of old and gold it still sound really old school death thrash and you can proves this with the track World of Darkness (to pay attention)  but if you’re fan of all this check out Towards Rebirth and surly you will this album add to your collection
