DEMONIZER stand for uncompromising and competent played Black/Thrash Metal, close to the atmosphere that bands like Nocturnal Breed or Immortal disperse. The Belgians act in very intense manner and cudgel felicitously through nine not all too different structured songs. For a bigger part intense thrashing reigns, enwrapped into a sound arousing the feeling of dirty old school Thrash-attitude without clinging undifferentiated or old-fashioned.

At first the Triumphator seems to hunt without overwhelming ideas in a one-dimensional way. The acting-out of some high speed songs like The Wolf Inside or Purify In Legacy is chaotic at first sight, but during the second listening everyone will get aware of the fact that the musicians know their profession. The music is spiced up with some surprises like the very melodic guitar lead during the merciless speeding track Alcoholic.
The title song Triumphator is the most outstanding tune; the band slows down partly and convinces in mid tempo structures too. First minutes of just named piece enthuse through high speed; afterwards the sentiment changes and nearly groovy passages dominate, ere DEMONIZER let the hammer fall again. So the band lets off steam in the course of this quite long lasting composition.
DEMONIZER have more to offer than one sentiment, towards the album’s end the group shows some affinity to anthem-like Black Metal, giving enough space to the thrash-attitude to unfold.
Unfortunately I miss one certain instance concerning DEMONZER: one direct hit, that catches you absolutely, never releasing you again, never leaving your memory. The striking Let Them Hate has got some good approaches.

In the end, the quartet scores with intensity and explosive speed attacks, so that the disadvantage of an outstanding composition can be compensated. Although Triumphator does not enthuse entirely, the album affords convincing metal, performed with a lot of heart-blood!
