Devil’s Force (Necropolis)
by Scott Hefflon

Moments of Kreator in these 30-minutes of pure mayhem. Pleasure to Kill-era Kreator, if ya know what I mean. Fast, thrashy, and scattered with screeching fills comin’ at ya like divebombin’ birds of prey. The guitarist loves that there whammy, almost as much as the vocalist loves to spit sonnets to Satan. While most of the production is “classic,” (meaning it sounds late ’80s) I do enjoy the sonic booms and huge demon roars when offsetting some flying leads and manic umpa-umpa drumming.
