DEBAUCHERY
- Germany´s Next Death Metal
AFM
Records
DEBAUCHERY, hailing from Germany, initially emerged as
a mid-tempo metal band with a sound reminiscent of early SIX FEET UNDER and
OBITUARY, aligning closely with the US metal scene. Their first two albums were
exceptional, and they remain a staple in my listening rotation. Subsequently,
the band incorporated hard rock elements into their music, drawing significant
influence from AC/DC. This evolution added an intriguing dimension to their
sound, enhancing its diversity and increasing my enjoyment of their music.
Following this shift, DEBAUCHERY continued to release
albums that either harkened back to their original style or blended metal with
hard rock. This progression brings us to their seventh studio album,
"Germany’s Next Metal." While the core sound remains consistent with
their recent work, this release introduces some thrash metal elements. Despite
these promising additions, the album unfortunately reveals a band that appears
somewhat fatigued and lacking in inspiration. The tracks seem to echo their
previous work without the same level of enthusiasm, resulting in a somewhat
monotonous listening experience.
It seems that the band's creative well in this hard
rock-meets-metal style may be running dry. This is the first DEBAUCHERY release
that has left me indifferent. I hope they soon find renewed inspiration and
return to form.
