Destruction - Spiritual Genocide

Destruction-Spiritual Genocide - Strong title for the newly released album. The cover features The Butcher which was originally introduced on the ep "The Mad Butcher" from the year 1987. The new CD comes almost a year and half since the release of "Day of Reckoning" back in February 2011. It is been released through Nuclear Blast records and features only 3 members Mike on guitars, Schmier on vocals and bass, and Vaaver on drums. Additional vocals on this go to Gerre and Tom Angelripper, additional guitar solos by Harry Heinrich Wilkens and additional drums Olly Kaiser. There is an additional bonus tracks on digipack with this album, "Princess of the Night" and alternative version of Carnivore. The cover is very ambitious and has a lot going on from surveillance cameras to a serpent creature in the background. It is toxic green giving it an effect of pollution or chemical spill, I am sure once people become familiar with the songs and lyrical content it will all come together as to what is been depicted on the cover by Gyula.  The song "Legacy of The Past" features Andreas "Gerre" Geremia and Thomas "Angelripper" Such. The song "Carnivore" on the limited Edition digipack features Harry Wilkens and Oliver Kaiser. Andy Klassen produced this album at Gernhart studios Troisdorf Germany.

The song "Cyanide" really puts forth whats to expect from this album. Drummer Vaaver really delivers on all his skills on this track for a relentless assault to the senses from the beginning. The production is crystal clear and fans of Destruction will not be disappointed one bit as this album is an evolution of the best Destruction music to date. 

With such tracks as "Renegades", City of Doom", "To Dust you Will Decay" and "Riot Squad" you will want to add this one to your collection. There is a trailer video on Youtube but it really just leave you wanting more, so you will want to purchase this and spin it several times to get the full throttle effect been experienced here. Plus the bonus digipack is worth checking out since that's where you will hear the special guest.

INSANE - Endless Execution-{Hollow Death demo tape}

Insane- Hallow Death- So this is a demo review. The cover is basic comic book style which might trow some people of when they actually hear the music. I am checking out the music on Youtube you can order an actual cassette tape from them which is a cool surprise. Right away I am taken back to the old school thrash metal days at the start of the song, like old Vio-lence Wrath or Laaz Rockit which I like. very good production here every instrument is clear. I like some of the solos too. Interesting to see what these guys have to offer in the future. they are off to a great start.

Entrench - Inevitable Decay

Not to fascinated with the album cover to this album, the logo is great but the cover looks bad to me, its way too basic and if I did not know any better I would just pass this up. The production is poor so I am thinking this is a demo release. For old school listeners this will not matter at all. The vocals are good and remind me of early Kreator or Overkill. The drums are very hard to distinguish because the vocals overpower them at times. This band is from Sweden and the album released by Abyss records. The solo in "Into Oblivion" is short but very effective. The beginning of "Portrait of A Phobia" brings my mind back to the old 80's style of intros which I like very much. "Crossing The River" reminds me of some good old Sepultura like Bestial Devastation which I enjoy very much. Overall I really could not find a track on this album that really stood out. Old school thrash metalheads would be sure to like this one

Thirteen Wars - Defying Death

Thirteen Wars - THIRTEEN WARS - Defying Death ThirteenWars - The album cover grabs me right away. "Defying Death" has a strong start but it gets very predictable after a few seconds. "Thank you for your Hypocrisy" vocals are not interesting and I feel the guitar sounds could be stronger as far as production. So then we have "Eternally Dying' which is weird title to me -how does a person die eternally?. Anyways the song gets boring to me, there is a cool solo in it but its just kind of floating in the song almost like it does not belong. "Gates" its difficult to hear the bass and drums at times, I think the guitar is a bit loud. Overall I have to pass on this album I could not find anything good about it.

Bloodshot Dawn - self titled

Bloodshot Dawn- self-titled album released this year. From the UK this 4 piece band is a force to be reckon with. All the tracks have awesome production. They started out in 2003 and both guitar players are amazing. The song "Prototype" is a great example of what to expect. The drums in 'The Quantum Apocalypse" are brutal yet elegant. This album is brutal and melodic. Bloodshoot dawn is one of those bands the should looked at as they evolve in the future.

Def Con One - Warface

Def Con One- Warface - I am very impressed by the heavy guitar sound on this album. I get a Boot-stomping feel when I first listen to this. There's a video on Youtube for Warface its black and white very raw and brutal. I hear at times a punk influence in their style. The album cover is simple yet effective, specially now a days with so many complex arts on album covers is good to see something simple for a change. The song "March of the Dead" is amazing, makes me feel like getting into the pit from the start. The opening track "Never Look Back" is by far my favorite. Very brutal start then into some groovy style riffing that will have you headbanging/moshing in moments.
