DEBUT SELF-TITLED ALBUM OUT NOW ON VINYL, CASSETTE, CD
"Extremism, religious fundamentalism, police brutality, and one-sided, hate-filled media outlets hell-bent on division are just some of the many readily available ingredients required for any society to crumble, and Stress Test grabs every one of them by the throat and holds them to account."
—Ghost Cult, 9/10
​
"No two songs side by side here that are the same, but they're all ferocious as fuck...For an album that's so angry, it's damn near impossible not to smile and headbang all the way through it." —Metal Epidemic, 4.5/5​​
​
"With all the blends of sub-genres that make up the metal world today, grindcore and old-school thrash metal is a combination that doesn’t often pop up. But Portland’s Stress Test make it sound natural, like we all should’ve been doing this all along...Fast and heavy can be done in a myriad of ways, and Stress Test have zeroed in on a style that is as catchy as it is devastating."
​
"Every verse is a homeless camp in your city, every riff an armored cop shooting a beanbag round into the stomach of some kid standing up in the streets for what he believes in, every drum fill a man forced to shoplift to feed his family."
