You open up
the envelope and a clown is grinning your way. Ha, ha, fuck you,
I am thinking while putting the CD into my stereo. Why is it always
me with choosing „fun-bands“? But what’s that?
The riff is not bad and the next one neither. Suddenly my mood
gets better as I listen to The World Will Be Taken, the
first hit of this record. A nice mixture between Thrash from the
old Annihilator school. A little bit of Overkill combined with
Glam and True Metal bands and a bit of Pantera. Finally a bit
of Hardcore and Punk and Rock’n’Roll-like solos and
you have it. The voice sounds not very scratchy for Thrash Metal,
even not with the sometimes appearing gang shouts. Strange, because
singer Michael Imhof was a former member of Final Breath and should
know it better. Maybe it is in some way combined with the weak
production. The drums are too much in the foreground and the guitars
are far from the heaviness, the introducing letter tries to describe.
Nevertheless songs like Payback with it’s „duck
riff“ and the good Instinct know how to please. Here
and there are really good moments flashing up, so this CD never
gets really boring. Unfortunately I also have to confess: It on
the other hand never reaches the upper ranks. This is he reason
why they only reach a score of 6 points. Entertaining but not
striking.
