U.S. reissue of the spelling-challenged band’s 2004 crusty gem. Swedish, bleak, metallic punk. Blasting and violent, with way more heads cracked than smiles.
Dekapitator have arguably created the second best old school thrash metal revivalist record. The first, of course, being Municipal Waste’s The Art of Partying.
Aeon borrow the eerie intervals and dirges of Morbid Angel, Legion-era Deicide’s rhythmic mastery, and new Cannibal Corpse’s penchant for quick tempo changes.
Chthonic on their turf, playing to thousands of screaming Taiwanese fans with a backing choir, laser light shows, and, of course, the prerequisite corpse paint.
The years haven’t calmed former Brutal Truth skinman Rich Hoak. The first ten cuts are justifiably pure mayhem, the four that follow are acoustic and melodic.
This young band from Arkansas plods and soars, a seeming oxymoron, but if you were to cross-breed Evanescence and Drain STH, you might have A Plea For Mercy.
