Independent review

The first two albums of the project by vocalist / rhythm guitarist of Debauchery Thomas Gurrath with the participation of a constant colleague still from the main band, producer and bassist Dennis Ward, were distinguished by incredible drive and powerful memorable riffs in the style of Angus Young, reinforced by a metal approach. Each album, like this one, was written in two variants - with vocals in the AC/DC style and Thomas's standard growling. In this review, I am considering the first variant, as I believe that growling does not particularly suit such music. And now, on the third album, the project, unfortunately, seems to begin to exhaust itself. There is no former fervor, everything sounds somehow commercial, which is primarily conditioned by the primitiveness of the riffs and choruses. Derivativeness simply suppresses the material, it becomes boring almost immediately and until Firethrone overlord, which sounds more powerful and more interesting. It is worth noting the strange placement of songs in the Blood God variant – the album accelerates towards the end and ends when the listener has just warmed up. In the Debauchery variant, the tracks are placed much more logically. The album's pearls are tracks 12-14. Murdermaker hits the mark, Heavy metal monsternaut continues the party and Thunderbeast completes it. The guys still keep the rhythm excellently. In general, an EP for 4 songs – would have been an ideal variant.
