5.0 out of 5 stars This is Killer Metal!!, November 27, 2005

This review is from: Strength Through Vengeance (Audio CD)

This is one of the best Metal releases I have heard in awhile. Alot of people will disagree according to other reviews but this cd is Brutal. Yes, there is a Pantera sound to it but so what? Is that bad? F**K NO!!! Pantera aren't coming back anyway so this is as close as you will get if you like Pantera or other Southern Metal. If you cant like a band because they sound a little like someone else then thats stupid. This is a Heavy Azz cd with killer songs and arrangements. Guitars are Heavy as Hell and the vocals are Sick. You won't be disappointed! Trust me... Buy it!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is not a complete Pantera rip off, October 25, 2005

This review is from: Strength Through Vengeance (Audio CD)

This is pretty much just southern thrash metal so of course it draws comparisons to Pantera, Exhorder, Superjoint Ritual, Down and countless others. Regardless, this CD feels fresh, like it's something you've heard before but with a fresh spin on it. There is a new singer on this album named Kevin Randel and it's obvious this guy is a true metalhead, and probably a big southern metal fan. Every song on this album has an underlying dark southern feel, and the anger can definitely be felt pulsating out of this disc. People say this sounds like a Pantera clone, but they definitely do not sound like just Pantera. At times the singer sounds like Phil Anselmo but these riffs are all original and so are the songs, and let me tell you these songs are brutal and will rip your face off. As of this review Kevin Randel has left the band so we'll see what happens to A Perfect Murder, but even if they break up I highly recommend this album to any metalhead. The best songs are "Strength through Vengeance", "Body and Blood", "Slay the Masses" and the amazing "Wake up and Die".

5.0 out of 5 stars SOUNDING LIKE PANTERA IS NOT A BAD THING, August 4, 2005

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Strength Through Vengeance (Audio CD)

That said, its a very goooood thing, in fact these guys now own my soul, I thought for sure Pantera or anything sounding even similar to Pantera was gone for good, then STV hits, its not Pantera and not as good quality as Pantera, but its realllly close in alot of ways. The vocals are Phil Anselmo, cloned as Kevin Randell, they are awesome, period. The guiter work isnt Dime and doesnt seem to even attempt to imitate him, it reminds me much more of old metallica especially the solos. Drumming is perfect to the music and solid throught, diddo on bass work.
So what if they imitate Pantera, Pantera is dead and gone with the subtraction of Dime there will never be a reunion.
All I can say is THANK YOU GUYS A MILLION TIMES OVER, anyone that is a true Pantera fan will not look at STV as an imitation but as a badddllllllllyyyyyyyyy needed return of real metal.
Im so dam* tired of all these retread hardcore/metalcore bands, they are over saturating and killing themselves just like thier hated "nu-metal" predecessors did.
PANTERA OWNS MY SOUL FOR EVER, BUT APM DEFIANTLY HAVE A LIEN ON AT LEAST MINE.

Also, dont buy this album thinking this is the next Pantera, its not, PANTERA is the best band ever period, but A PERFECT MURDER is the NEXT BEST THING after pantera, Which is pretty good in my book.
EVERY song on this album is excellent, I only wish it was longer, LONG LIVE APM AND THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH for makeing a Pantera fans dream come true, which is a new band that can give you the same feeling you came away from Pantera with.
This album stands firmly on its own and does not need the comparisons, but why not compare to the greatest?
You guys f*&king rock, keep up the good work and give us more of the same next time out pleeassse.

ps.

in a previous review someone said the packeging of this album said it was the "new pantera" it DID NOT say that, it said "Metallica is old, Pantera is Gone, A Perfect Murder is NOW"
what about that is incorrect may I ask?

.REAL METAL LIVES AGAIN.
.A PERFECT MURDER.
is its namePERIOD
