Review by Victor Augusto
8/10
There are bands that exhale professionalism and maturity in their essence when you look at them for the first time, even though you’ve never heard about them before. How many times have you gone to a concert to see one of your favourite bands and suddenly you return home as a fan of another one too? Do you know when a band hits and somehow you know they will offer a killer concert even before they start playing? Maybe it sounds silly, which it indeed is, but I had this same feeling looking at a video from Deathraiser that Youtube suggested to me in the beginning of this year.
Of course I’ve already heard about these Brazilian insane thrashers before and probably I’ve also heard their music as well, but as always, I ask myself in which planet I was living to not have paid the proper attention to these guys, because their new album is a masterclass about Thrash Metal music. It is like having the perfect mix of Kreator from the “Extreme Aggression” era, allied to the “Beneath The Remains” from Sepultura.
The quality of the recording production could embrace the guitar work among the riffs and by the way if you are addicted to incredible riffs, here you have it from the beginning until the end. There is not only one song without insane notes and guitar picks that grab your attention over it. The good over it is also how the production makes the bass still appear among all the heaviness, like in the instrumental song ‘Symphony of Violence’ where Junior Gaetho keeps his bass in an independent and creative line, while the guitars are doing another job.
And not only by riffs and all the walls of heaviness this album was made. There is a great work on solos too and I really enjoyed the harmonies over the song ‘Dead Generation’ like an apocalyptic soundtrack that closes this amazing material. To my surprise, I discovered it is just the band’s second album that waited for almost 15 years and it is amazing because there weren’t line up changes for what I researched.
So it means that the band really stayed active along the years, evolving themselves to reach this high level of thrash. Like the title says, Deathraise really stayed forging their music by all the hatred we’ve been facing in this creeping world.
