REVIEW:DESTROYER 666 - Never Surrender

 


DESTROYER 666 - Never Surrender


Season of Mist

This is actually my introduction to the band, so as you can see I'm way behind in their discography.  This one perked my ears up.  And I'm in huge contrast to the average scores giving this one a "D" rating.  I thought that it was very interesting of a release.  They flourished their black/thrash metal throughout this recording.  The riffs were fresh, the production strong and the vocals are way better than tolerable.  These guys know how to get it done musically.  The music itself really impressed me.  And the voice to the album just went so well with the guitars and drums.  There was a little echo effect with the voice which made it darker as an album.


I thought all the songs were well constructed.  Definitely a band that knows what their doing.  Leads were crystal clean and the shred was totally there.  The mixing/recording had the music sounding a little darker than what they may have wanted but overall a great record.


I realize that not everyone has access to Spotify or YouTube to test this one out.  It's everything and more of a recording that's solid.  I enjoyed this whole album entirely.  The music just took over and I've been happy to own this now, not just digital streaming.


These guys have a huge discography behind them.  And it's good that they've come out with new music and in no way lacks ingenuity.  I like this whole album and what it's done for me as a fan.  It makes me want to own more of their LP's.  I will, but I just regret that I didn't get into them sooner.  I kind of overlooked them hearing very little of their music then I broke through and picked up 'Never Surrender' on CD.  More than happy with it.  They flourish in the genres coming together as one.  It's a little tricky putting black/thrash together and making it a solid release.  But they're experienced so they know what they're doing.


"Mirror's Edge" and "Rather Death" are some songs that are highlights of the album.  Not to mention the title-track.  Look into this!
