Sadistic Force unleashes blistering new single “Strike After Strike” from upcoming EP “Morbid Odyssey”

Austin, Texas-based blackened speed metal force Sadistic Force returns with a powerful new single, “Strike After Strike,” the second track unveiled from their upcoming EP, ‘Morbid Odyssey,’ set for release on August 22nd. The new track arrives alongside an electrifying lyric video, delivering a furious assault of high-octane speed metal.

“Strike After Strike” features a scorching guest guitar solo from Matteo Von Bewitcher of the satanic speed metal band Bewitcher. This track serves as the spiritual successor to “Strike of the Iron,” a standout from SADISTIC FORCE’s debut album. Showcasing the band’s continued evolution, the song pairs relentless intensity with Bewitcher’s signature guitar work in a head-to-head riff onslaught.

On the new track, SADISTIC FORCE comments:

Strike After Strike” is the spiritual successor to “Strike Of The Iron” off of our debut album. The nonstop intensity of “Strike After Strike” showcases the development of the SADISTIC FORCE sound. Matteo Von Bewitcher adds his signature guitar sound in a blistering guest guitar solo that meets the barreling barrage of riffs head on.

Matteo Von Bewitcher adds:

Back in December, Bewitcher played a one-off show in Austin with Sadistic Force. The show went great, and that night James asked me to do a solo on their new record. I got home, knocked it out, sent it over, and they were into it. Later, I ran into Mike on tour, and he told me that track was their Judas Priest ‘Painkiller’ moment. That hit home, Bewitcher has songs like that too, so it was cool to be part of it. Shout out to the homies—can’t wait to hear the full record and see them hit the road.

Watch the lyric video for “Strike After Strike”:

Produced, mixed, and mastered by Noah Buchanan (Nunslaughter, Midnight) at Mercenary Studios, ‘Morbid Odyssey’ marks SADISTIC FORCE’s most punishing and refined work to date. The five-track EP is a relentless showcase of blistering speed, thrash-infused brutality, and uncompromising sonic power. Featuring guest solos from Matteo Von Bewitcher, Tony Rot, and Mark Pursino (Electrocutioner), ‘Morbid Odyssey’ cements the band’s deep roots in traditional heavy metal and extreme metal aggression.

Thematically, the EP plunges into psychedelic necromancy, artistic serial killers, satanic vengeance, and BDSM-driven nightmares—all set to a backdrop of unrelenting speed and power. From the eerie, drug-fueled visions of the title track to the witch-trial revenge fantasy of “Abnormal Cruelties,” the EP burns with dark, cinematic storytelling and a razor-sharp edge.

On the new EP, the band comments:

SADISTIC FORCE isn’t just another modern metal band—we’re a high-octane resurrection of metal’s golden era, dripping with raw energy, virtuoso musicianship, and a commitment to keeping heavy metal loud, fast, and unapologetically sinister. Our upcoming release, ‘Morbid Odyssey,’ is our most refined and punishing yet.

With ‘Morbid Odyssey,’ Sadistic Force is setting their sights on domination—and they’re ready to take on any label bold enough to unleash their fury on the world.

Meant to be listened to on 8-track in a ’75 Camaro, passing a hash pipe and sipping beer from a pull-tab can, SADISTIC FORCE is the band ready to restore the adjective “heavy” to metal music. Emerging from the dark heart of Austin, Texas, they deliver a blistering assault of blackened speed metal infused with old-school heavy metal spirit. Led by James Oliver (guitar/vocals), the band channels the raw intensity of classic acts Judas Priest, Motörhead, and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, while injecting the relentless aggression of extreme metal.

Formed in late 2020, SADISTIC FORCE began as Oliver’s vision of unfiltered, high-energy heavy metal—built on speed, attitude, and a horror-infused aesthetic. What started as a solo project quickly evolved into a full-throttle force of nature, as rock’n’roll bassist Mike Gupta and extreme metal powerhouse drummer JP Campo completed the lineup. The result? A band that seamlessly fuses vintage metal riffs, lightning-fast rhythms, and blackened vocals into a sonic onslaught that’s as nostalgic as it is modern.
