A Kid's Review

This review is from: Idolatry (Audio CD)

This album right here is a friggin riff machine. And I'm not bluffing, there's riffs there, there, and over there. These riffs are mean, nasty and they'll peel you're face right off. Also, another merit is that the production is incredibly thick. Produced from the one and only Scott Burns, this album sports an icredibly crunchy and violent sound. Which distance it apart from most albums out there.

You have to get this if you are into extreme metal.

Somewhat similar to Dark Angel's Time Does Not Heal but faster, with more fluid playing and noticeably heavier. Bit of a Kreator sound in there too. Relentless would be a good word to describe this album. The singer uses a caustic yell that fits the music well. There's not much filler here either, it's all solid thrash.

This review is from: Idolatry (Audio CD)

Truly tortured vocals that are clearly understood highlight this masterful piece of thrash. The drumming is a relentless assault that pushes mind, body, and muscles to the limits of endurance. I don't see the comparisons to bands like Forbidden, Vio-lence, and Dark Angel though, at least not vocally. Where the aforementioned bands have a vox man that, to my tastes, get kinda high and, well....tiresome. Still love Eternal Nightmare, though. Devastation's vocalist has a raw, caustic sound that's purely harsh and compliments the music perfectly. Very impressive guitar work, constantly changing and very intricate. Dedicated musicians who's rightful praise has yet to come. Riffing along the lines of Demolition Hammer, Massacre, and Incubus. Just crazy. Blistering bass rounds out this classic. It's just a pummeling, in-your-face experience listening to this. Guaranteed to make your neighbors comtemplate moving. Constantly Impressive Every Listen.
