Benediction
Killing Music
Rating
Style: Death/Thrash Metal
Release date: August 22nd 2008
 

The last BENEDICTION CD ’Organized Chaos’ from 2001 didn’t do much for me and now 7 years later they have released ‘Killing Music’. But was it worth the wait?

-Yes sir! BENEDICTION thrashes and rocks their way through 14 splendid tracks. (2 of them are cover songs with several invited guests).

 

‘Killing music’ is a first class death-thrash-punk ’n’ piece of heavy shit. Catchy as hell but bollocks to anyone who say it’s melodic. This CD could easily have been released in the 80’s or 90’s and that’s another reason why I like it so much.

 

It’s hard for me to name any standout tracks because I love ‘em all... well I could live without the cover songs. But what the hell... it’s still an excellent CD from start to finish. This album is perfect for death/thrash fans with a hunger for catchy riffs so I think you should do yourself a huge favour and at least check this CD out.

 

Get it while it’s hot.
