DECEIVER,
founded only a little more than 2 years ago by ex Mortician Dead
– members Pete Flesh (ex – Maze Of Torment), Crille
Lundin and Flingan, seem to be work-a-holics, as Holov
Posen Tro May Trot is already their third release.
They lost former singer Destormo (Maze Of Torment, Serpent Obscene)
and as they could not find a new front man in time, band leader
Pete Flesh himself has now taken over that job. The new stuff
is a bit more aggressive than it used to be, but it is still Thrash
Metal with a strong touch of Motörhead, Sodom and some Death
Metal elements (first of all concerning the raw barking of Mr.
Flesh). Ancient God and Inhaling Toxication
kick ass without any compromise and also the other songs are straight
rockers without any big surprises, unfortunately even without
little surprises which makes the CD rather monotonous. Riffs,
leads and drums are not exactly full of ideas and you know the
breaks before you hear them. But the production is really well-done
and the energy level is more than that. Just pure aggression!
But I think they should take more time for the next record and
try to create more variation. Then I will certainly give them
more than 7 points.
