BLACK FAST released their debut album 'Terms of Surrender' on eOne Music on August 7, 2015. Outburn Magazine said BLACK FAST is, "one of the best acts to appear on the scene in years.Terms of Surrender is a must for thrash maniacs and will propel these guys to the top in no time 9/10." While Noisey said the band has "thrash-y riffs that would make Mustaine salivate."
