Destroyer 666 - Wildfire

http://www.secret-face.com/
  #FOR FANS OF: Black/Thrash
The music on here is what takes it away. And the vocals as well. Similar sound quality to this release. It's got a slight reverb/echo to it. It makes the album sound more grim and dark. I enjoyed this whole album so I got the CD of it. I figure the sound quality will be better than the digital music. Which it is! All the songs are killer. If I were to pick a few tracks, I'd say check out "Live and Burn", "Hymn to Dionysus" and "Die You Fucking Pig!" All of the songs are good though, mostly up-tempo with a few tracks that were somewhat slow, but still catchy as all hell. The music is what took it away on here (like I previously said).

The guitars are a mixture of tremolo picking with that echo that I talked about. But it seems as though some songs are fast, yet they take a break from that speed especially on "Tamam Shud." That one is a little slower than the rest.

They've done well in their discography, being consistent the whole way though their musical career. I felt that this one is a little stronger than their latest 'Never Surrender'. I like both releases just this one seems a little tighter.

The production quality was good just the tracks have that echo I talked about which makes the release darker and more fierce. All the songs are catchy and the leads were pretty strong as well! The rhythms are what did it for me and the vocals. I think that they do really well with their musical efforts. They are aggressive and underground just the way that they want to be (I presume). I'm not much for the lyrical concepts but the music just takes it all away for me. The guitars are furious and fast and they're catchy as all hell. These guys know how to make phenomenal black/thrash metal!

I'm glad that I've finally heard more of this band, 'Wildfire' is a gem in their discography! They know that their fans await every passing release!

Destroyer 666 - Never Surrender

#FOR FANS OF: Black/Thrash
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 "80" 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! (Death8699)
