Destruction day of reckoning free download

What is left out of this formula? The guitar! And the odd thing is, the guitar IS clearly audible, but these nuances that are so great are somehow not clearly evident at first. Does that make any sense? You can hear the guitar very well, but it is not easy to hear how brilliant it is at first. Perhaps "hiding in plain sight" is an adage that can be used here. While some have cast dispersion on the lyrics, I found them to be a bit more spiteful than in past, and let's not forget that these are lyrics as a second language, something I've always found usually appealing from such bands.

And Schmier comes up with some different vocal patterns in a few songs, which I found to be novel, including "Armageddonizer" maybe my favourite on the album and the also excellent "Church of Disgust". Also listen for the ancient-sounding guitar intro to the title track; I don't now if Mike played that or not, as there are a few guest guitarist listed on the album but it doesn't say who plays what!

But that took me back to the eternal glory of "Eternal Ban"! I will say that I find the simplistic "The Demon is God" to be the lowpoint on the album, mainly because of the rather annoying chorus which is more akin to Kreator's more punky approach on the "Hordes of Chaos" album. New drummer Vaaver is quite powerful, but not seemingly as active as predecessor Marc. Who knows how much time Vaaver had with this material before it was recorded? HIs drumming is in no way "disappointing"!

While doing a great job on the album, he played the new material with much more interesting approach live, as he also did welcome justice to old songs. In summary, I really urge all who have dismissed this album to give it a few more listens maybe back-to-back? There are not many "instant classic" riffs or songs, but there are very strong songs that hold up and produce pleasant surprises if one only listens deeper, thereby making the songs memorable.

Though not really complex, it is definitely one of those albums that "grows on you". It's good that Destruction never sold out or changed their style of music, but their past several releases have been sub-par. The music just isn't very catchy and the energy is lacking.

Mike doesn't put forth very good leads, so they usually have someone else as a guest lead guitarist. As a 4-piece during the Release From Agony days, Harry shredded. I'd have to say that The Antichrist was their last solid release.

The riffs that Mike puts forth here aren't very admirable. It's just getting worse and worse sadly. The song "The Price" is probably the most notable one. The Dio cover also slayed. But out of the 53 minutes of this album, I'd say it's the worst one going back about a decade. Musically Mike is stuck and his riffs are boring plus lack in any dimension.

Every succeeding album they keep on leaving off from where they left off previously with no progression. Thrash Anthems is a good compilation album that definitely rips. But Day of Reckoning falls short from many different aspects. The songs aren't well founded with riffs that stick to you.

A lot of gallops and palm muted guitar, but they're just boring. You can listen to this repeatedly and have the same opinion. The lyric writing is where it always had. Mostly anti-religion and politics. Nothing that's really interesting if you ask me.

Destruction has never really been a band that sings about anything that's intriguing. That was the strongest part of the album. It was long awaited, but fell short by far much. I've tried several listens to this one and my opinion hasn't changed whatsoever. Download some songs and form your own opinion. Again "The Price" is a good tune, but overall these songs are the pits.

Thrash metal at it's one of Destruction's worst. Considered one of the forefathers of the Teutonic thrash metal scene along with Kreator and Sodom, power-trio Destruction have released their 11th album, Day Of Reckoning, another unrelenting minute slab of their brand of technical thrash metal with snarls, riffs and a polished overtone.

It's a tried-and-true formula which has been the basis of their past 4 albums, with different drummers in the hotseat and guest guitarists being the variation over the years. Vocalist and bassist Schmier brings his trademark mid-level snarl akin to a more melodic Angelripper , although his bass could do with a boost. Sifringer pulls some nice riffs and rhythm out, and there's a requisite cool solo and shout-along section that speaks of years of being a live band instead of in the studio.

The whole song is a neat package, showcasing the band's sound in a nutshell. The music feels a little synthetic, but it certainly sounds and engaging and promising of more headbang-worthy material. It's clear the band enjoy following this formula, but as a listener it becomes tiring to hear after a few songs.

Fans of Destruction's recent output will enjoy Day Of Reckoning, and thrash enthusiasts can take the album for a couple of spins, but I personally preferred the new Sodom release.

Originally posted at www. German thrash titans Destruction recently released their eleventh studio album. Destruction made their comeback from the typical 's thrash lull in the late 's being way ahead in the game opposed to some of their contemporaries. Despite this, they have not really been able to match their early material. Destruction has pretty much released the same album the last several times out of the gate.

This is pretty much the same thing we have grown to expect from Destruction. This is yet another slab of righteous, riotous thrash with tons of hooks and it demands the horns be raised high in homage. This is classic, angry, frantic Destruct-thrash like the good old days and it sounds rock solid and mighty pissed off. All the trademark elements of the Destruction sound are here and battle ready.

From go its furious, thrash-tastic sonic abuse with some excellent song structures and a lot of memorable hooks and interesting musical moments. The first three tracks hit on all cylinders and show Destruction at their rabid best. The big selling point for Destruction is of course the riffs and Day of Reckoning has a cornucopia of big, infectious, headbanging thrash riffage in every track.

New drum hand Vaarve plays a big role here with a furious but technical performance. He does a lot of little fills and rolls that add to the fun and its clear the guy is a beast behind the kit. What really pushes this over the top is the clever dynamics and tempo changes that litter all the songs. The production is big, very clear but effective, with a biting, thick guitar sound and very crisp, solid drum sound.
