This is the 13th
album from the Christian thrashers named Deliverance. 13 records?? That's quite
a lot one might think, despite the fact that these guys are veterans, they
actually manage to make “As Above – So Below” sound like an underground debut.
When I put on a
Thrash CD I expect to get my ass kicked... And Deliverance wouldn't manage to
kick the ass of an 8-year-schoolgirl .... The music is so uninspired and boring,
they claim to play thrash with some progressive elements. Two genres I love but
nothing caught my attention here at all. I spinned this CD about ten times, but
every time it finishes I am left with nothingness. The riffs lack power, the
drums are shitty produced and the vocalist tries to often to sound like Warrel
Dane (Nevermore), which he is off course not capable of at all.... Sure they
know how to play their instruments, but never in an innovative way what-so-ever.
The tracks are way too long and the guitar solos which are intended as an edge
of progressive excitement puts me to sleep.
If you are
looking for a lullaby with Christian lyrics (something about returning to Eden),
this might be it.. Over and out.
