Triggering off this sheer brutality of enjoyment the song for starters entitled Beast reminded me of Slipknot kicking in such a fierce attack. Had to take a step back and get some fresh air for the next set of songs put me in hyper-gear (only known as a Red Bull and a good pit moshing dance). Deadicate and Deathrash show the velocity of musical prowess, these songs are one of many on VICIOUS’s new release that really show the bands outright killer abilities. As for the rest of the CD, everything is in perfect harmony.

VICIOUS as a band compliments both the world of thrash/death music. Guitars are a masterpiece, easily woven in with the steady, harsh tones of drums and adding the finishing touch of the brutality is the intensity of the vocals and bass. Sharing altogether a musical mind sweep creating a fresh sound not produced by any bands of this sort. What these gents have going for them is originality, creative productivity and confidence that is going to take them to the next level. Vile, Vicious & Victorious is an album in my eyes creatively well produced and done. Songs in their entirety are powerful, straight fronted, showing a force of aggression with taste. Final summation of this album is on of genius. This brilliant CD is a recommended in any true thrasher’s CD collection. Well done! \m/
