Formed in September 2008, the Americans DEVASTATION DEVICE made their first published in a compilation "Metal Edge Magazine's" along with other local groups. No demos or eps or splits, the group landed a contract with illico "Turkey Vulture Records" to record their first full-lenght "Nation of Extinction" in January 2011. I take this opportunity to do my stunt this young label born in 2001 who, not content to provide good out of all kinds while relatively discrete, sells its products at unbeatable prices.
It is, at present, needless to say that the album has an outstanding sound quality, and the difference from one album to another is no longer on it. "Nation of Extinction" thus has a good production, powerful and gritty style that fits perfectly played by the group, namely a "Thrash" swift influences tinged "Old-school".
And at that point of my column, I find myself very annoyed because I have absolutely nothing to say, and it does well for three quarters of an hour that my page remains in suspension. What is wrong? No. Absolutely nothing, and that's the problem.
The group is smart enough to vary his compositions, balancing technical accurately made by many who know how to do solis melodic ("The Final Hour," "The Aftermath", "Kill The Lights") while keeping a constant efficiency in the performance of music that is not in lace. Jonathan Martin shows that he is not armed by placing jumble of good bursts of double "Deviate", bringing an additional gain of heaviness we would have liked more on this end. The heart of the album is so catchy most, and sequence "Broken Compass" and "Devil of the Day" has what it takes to groove and potatoes with their riffs and heartfelt small accelerations placed the right place.
In summary, all is well "burn" the rhythmic foundation is feeling well, it's fast, well executed, Jared Harris has a shrill voice well suited to the rest and gets angry properly if n ' is that sometimes he would have liked a little more loose, technically it is the top ... and that's it. The album is listened pleasantly, without trouble or loss of power all along, but nothing really stands out. One has the impression of having heard this riff as rhythmically as solo. Not a bad thing, especially when the goal is to rush into the crowd without a good shot of history (which can claim to be 100% original today, especially in the field of "Thrash" which technology and delivered the game are governed by codes which are certain that if one ignores the extent this is no longer called the "Thrash"?), but by dint of turning coasting without scoring a touch of madness, interest begins to decline after a few listens. Of mainly non-existent risk-taking, feel incomplete and lack of aggressiveness remain pure only at the very end.
I have nothing to fall sharply this album, especially since he does not deserve it (for a first try, it worked out of the mouth anyway), but I have no cards in hand, either for him an altar glowing praise. Neither bad nor good: not with this kind of argument we will advance the schmilblick, but I tell you, it's "bored" really can not do more. So I will defer to a trial by placing a school "Could do better", and send my encouragement to this young combo that I am sure, will show its full potential and his desire to "eat the scene" in the years to come.
