ld Man’s Child: ‘Slaves of the World’ – CD Review

” As in albums past Galder wisely chooses to focus on his intricate guitar technique and any high-concept bombast that may serve as a backdrop won’t distract you from being blown away by blistering leads and gut-blasting riffs – with pure thrash stylings at the forefront. Doubters should direct themselves to “Saviours of Doom” which is impressive enough to serve as Galder’s calling card. Despite the impressive speed-picking fret-mangling wizardry and some of Galder’s throatiest death-metal vocals ever there’s also a lot of refined musical structure at work here demonstrating a real knack for songwriting and memorable melody – something quite consciously (and sometimes proudly) overlooked by purely technical metallers – and the lush tapestry of acoustic guitar tones that come into play on songs like “Servants f Satan’s Monastery” though rare demonstrate that technique isn’t always a game to see who can rip the paint off your walls first. Slaves of the World is an impressive move forward for the band after 2005’s solid but less memorable Vermin and demonstrates that Galder’s own project is neither a one-trick pony nor a Dimmu Borgir knock-off but a one-man tour de force with its own unique voice in the world of extreme metal – a voice that has becomes clearer and more distinct with this release. It’s obviously going to be very attractive to Dimmu completists but I think it also has the potential to draw in thrash aficionados who lean toward decidedly Satanic themes (Galder’s pretty up-front about that particular aspect) but who may find Dimmu a bit too grandiose and commercial for their tastes. Me I feast happily on all of the above so I’d declare this one a keeper. Slaves of the World hits US shores Tuesday from Century Media.

We’ll be hanging out with everybody and announcing some of the bands it’s gonna be a lot of fun! “I’ll also be making an announcement soon about the metal album that I’m recording this summer.

I’ve been a metal head since I was 8 years old and I can’t wait to get into the studio to pound on the drums and record some crushing new metal music!”Well that’s about it for now take care everybody and I hope to see you out on the road somewhere soon!”Please share this article if you found it interesting.

Movement of Thrash People: Exodus
Express from The Washington Post
And now we tune down to D but we have since 1993 but if you listen to “Force of Habit” there’s not a lot of death metal going on there. We just liked the sound; the impact — like a quarter step down — it’s just bit more ballsy on the deep end. The death metal bands tune lower than that. Plus D just sounds natural to my ears now.

2009This band packs enough attitude in their fists to knock your teeth right down your throat!This week we turn it up a notch as I focus on one of the most promising bands of the American Heavy Metal scene Five Finger Death Punch.
