So, who got the fattest now, the Tardy Brothers or DRONE? Both bands flex their muscles by presenting traction engine bristle with tons of horse power on their cover. Of course, the modern Thrash Metal is to contrast with the stuff made by Florida’s Death Metal heads just limited, but in the general view the Juggernaut may sniff at Tardy’s emissions at least. Basically the German Wacken Metal Battle winner in 2006 does it quite right on their third release. Their Thrash Metal work fits, the harmonies and melodies are placed well, breakdowns detach penetrating, powerful and melodious vocals. But the modern Thrash Metal, heavy on Machine Head, acts too uniform over the whole playing time. It’s just No Pattern with its Rap vocals and Drum’n’Bass style which whittles itself out of the else exchangeable sounding tracks. This is what belittles the higher-than-average manual accomplishment shown on Juggernaut unfortunately. But if DRONE wanna reach a really good position in judge’s scale ear-catcher and a convincing overall picture is indispensable. So horse-power traction engine’s bumper “just” collects hats off scratches instead of melting down the sonic barrier.
