Vital Remains

Dechristianize (Olympic/Century Media)
by Tim Den

Holy mother… uuuuhhh, the bio wasn’t kidding when it said “this is the soundtrack to the Apocalypse.” Remember how fast Brutal Truth’s original drummer was? Vital Remains‘ Dave Suzuki’s got him beat cuz the Davester also plays all the fucking bass and lead guitars here! Can you say “mind blowing”? Not to mention how goddamn fast guitarist Tony Lazaro shreds and how deranged vocalist Glen Benton (yes, the Deicide dude) sounds.

Dechristianize is one intimidating album: Faster than lightning and more fierce than a starving tiger. You better wear a diaper when you put this on.
