HEADSHOT - Eyes Of The Guardians - CD

Evolved as One Die Old School Goregrind Veteranen GUT melden sich mit einem Paukenschlag zurück! Jahrelang war es still um die Band, das letzte Album "The Cumback" ist bereits 14 Jahre alt. Anno 2020 allerdings sind GUT im Original Line-Up des Genreklassikers „Odour of Torture“ zurück und veröffentlichen mit „Disciples of Smut“ ein Album, das die Grenzen der (mit)gegründeten Genres einmal mehr weit verschiebt und das absolute Alleinstellungsmerkmal von GUT manifestiert. “Disciples of Smut” gleicht einem aus Granit errichteten Atommeiler der Boshaftigkeit und hat schon jetzt das Potential zu einem definitiven Kultalbum, welches zweifelsfrei das extremste und böseste Album 2020 sein wird. Wer sich auf den neuen Output einlässt, stellt fest, dass die Goregrind-Schublade für dieses Werk viel zu klein ist. das Album ist eine Mischung aus Goregrind, Bestial Black Metal, Death Metal, Doom, Noise und Drone. Schneller, langsamer, härter, fieser, atmosphärischer und metallischer als alles was man bisher von GUT kannte. Ein Old School Album, das entweder allen vor den Kopf stößt oder zu einem Schulterschluss von Fans extremer Musik jeglicher Spielart führen kann, einen aber auf jeden Fall mit seiner Soundwand erschlagen wird. “Disciples of Smut” wurde von Bonassis im Sinsheimer Audiodrive Studio produzierte. Andy Classen (Stage One Studio) ist verantwortlich für die Drum Recordings, Sunn Amps für den Flächenbrand. Schützenhilfe bekamen die Jungs mit Gastauftritten von Martin Schirenc (Pungent Stench) und Patrick Klopf (Disharmonic Orchestra) sowie Martin Maty Matoušek (Gutalax).

Epic Melodic Thrash/Death Metal Highlight! For more than 30 years, FINAL CRY have been a constant part of the German metal scene and now present their sixth longplayer with the mountaineering epic "The Ever-Rest". On it, the band once again succeeds in reinventing themselves without losing sight of their roots. Their sound, still rooted in thrash metal, captivates with merciless riffing, raging drums and a great feeling for melodies and atmosphere and builds a bridge between the classic thrash of the 80s and the dark Scandinavian death to black metal styles of the 90s. The new man on the mic not only gives the band's sound a new touch with his nasty screams and growls, but also fits the album's deadly, frosty scenario like a glove. The overall concept of "The Ever-Rest" is rounded off by a 20-page story booklet, which contains the real-life stories underlying each individual song. For some backing vocals and choirs, which support the epic depth of the theme, Herbie Langhans (AVANTASIA) and Børd Wäsche (EYE SEE BLACK) could also be won. "The Ever-Rest" was produced at Soundlodge Studio by Jörg Uken and is undoubtedly a highlight in the quintet's oeuvre and should delight both old and new fans of the band from Lower Saxony. As a bonus, "Words Unspoken", one of their all-time classics from 1994, has been re-recorded and ported into the new millennium.

Bonn Area Thrash Metal! Friends of classic Thrash Metal should already get sweaty fingers at the band name. The Bonn Thrash Metalers Fabulous Desaster, who released their strapping debut album "Hang 'Em High" in 2016, are now releasing their second album "Off With Their Heads" - and notch up one's performance. Even though the bar for this band name is already very high, the quartet manages to keep this level on their new album and present 10 songs that have the potential to delight every Bay Area Thrash Metal fan. Losing more words here would be like carrying coals to Newcastle. This Thrash Metal firework was produced like the debut by and with Armin Rave at Soundsight Studio Hennef, while the coverartwork, also like the predecessor, is by the Guatemalan artist Mario W. Lopez M... With "Off With Their Heads" Fabulous Desaster locate the Bay Area on the Rhine and follow, besides all associations with genre heros, their own course. Thrash on!

OLDSCHOOL THRASH METAL ATTACK! After "Death From Above", the last album of the German Thrash Metallers by Pessimist, was 7 years ago, it is time for a new sign of life of the quintet in 2020. With "Holdout" there is finally a new longplayer available, which will let it crack on 9 tracks with a playing time of 55 minutes. Already the single, released in early April, made it clear that Pessimists are still on the line! After the last challenge was mastered with a line-up change on the drums, the guys locked themselves in the Iguana Studio (Necrophagist, Bitterness, Virocracy, Profanity, among others) from the end of 2019 on to have the present 9 tracks of Christian Brandes cast in steel. Their now third longplayer impresses again with uncompromising Thrash Metal with a lot of Old School broadside, which is not only contemporary but also timeless due to the mercilessly razor-sharp production. Whoever takes a closer look at the lyrics of the album will also quickly notice that the band deals with the war topic very critically and does not just deal undifferentiated with bold and clichéd symbolism. With "Holdout", Pessimist undoubtedly succeeds in consolidating and expanding their place in the German and international Thrash Metal scene and serving up a real treat for all fans of this genre!
