The great Neptune, angered by your mistreatment of me, commands the sea to rise and cover your insignificant hill. You're dragged to the bottom of the sea, where your skeleton is destined to become a real stumper for archaeologists of the far future. I'm granted release from the land of the dead, and return to find a new hill. My hill.

The dyslexic student reads your post and thinks it says "Austrian fast bowler;" mistakenly he goes to the wrong country in search of this fast bowler only to fail for being in the wrong country. He returns home and on his way he notices a large hill; he wants a private place to cry so he climbs to the top and notices you. Depressed, he kills himself; the cops come by and think you did it so they drag you off to jail. Meanwhile I'm taking my casual stroll down the beach after eating peppers, but again, they were poisoned, so my body falls over into the ocean as I'm carried out to sea. Cannibal Corpse writes another song, this time about two sperm whales fucking my dead body. After escaping I end up at the same place I ended up last time. I see a sign that reads "free beer," so I rush down the hill. Unfortunately the other part was blocked off and I had completely forgotten about it. The price of the beer had been raised to $25 because of the Affordable Care Act and the boss needed the extra money to cover his workers. I am taken to jail for stealing the beer. Once I'm out I begin running for the hill as fast as I can and I beat FatherAlabaster to the door but I trip and fall into a pit of broken O'Douls bottles. I soon realize that I can't reclaim the hill so I establish a club but I go bankrupt because no one will buy my $25 beers because they all think it's free. I flee to the bahamas because the Australian government doesn't let me stay up past midnight. On my way there I remember the Fast Bowler so I tell the captain to turn around so I can find him. I load up with gear and begin my search. I finally find him so I decide to kill him with a grenade. I wait too long to throw the grenade and it smites me. Helplessly laying on the ground a king brown bites me and I am "invemonated" and die. My body is carried to the top of a hill to be buried but it turns out I'm not dead; I'm just passed out. On the top of the hill I fall asleep. SBird94 drags me down while raping me and buries my live body at the bottom. Cannibal Corpse sees a story about this in the news and writes a song about it. It turns out I was only dreaming, and I wake up at my desk, surprised to see my knuckles rapped by angry English professors. I am put in detention. I sneak out of the classroom when they are not looking and give them "cloumbian" neckties on the way out. I throw their dead bodies in the ocean and sperm whales fuck their dead bodies; Cannibal Corpse writes a song about it. Neptune is tired of humans and his creatures having intercourse so he commands the sea to rise but Jesus calms the sea. The dead professors are dragged to the bottom as the sea lowers and now deep-sea fish are fucking their bodies; Cannibal Corpse writes a song about it. Years later a group or Archaeologists are exploring and find the dead bodies, one of them is released from prison because of his find and sets off with a new life in search of hills. A phoenix sees the archaeologist and it merges. The phoenix summons a deathstorm to take the archaeologist. The storm gets out of hand and kills the phoenix. Over night the storm calms down and morning comes. I casually walk up to the hill, stop to tie my shoe lace, then continue to climb the hill. The Australian fast bowler knocks me off with a bouncer. A dyslexic student is watching the news and he thinks it says "Austrian" fast bowler... My hill

Somehow during all the tectonic forces rearranging the hills, dead bodies are pushed out of the ground and onto the surface. One of the people that stole a beer is drunk and thinks one of the dead is a live woman. He begins fucking it. The story makes it to the news but the news reporter wasn't aware the man was drunk and incorrectly reported it as blatant necrophilia. Cannibal Corpse watches the news report and writes a song about it. As I walk to the store to buy the new CD I notice a hill that had never been there before; I realize that the tectonic forces put the hill there. Meanwhile, your mother calls you and tells you you didn't wash the dishes this morning so you're grounded. You return home and I am left alone on the hill. My hill

You've got the hill, but you're still unhappy. Your intensely competitive nature won't let you stop striving, even though there's no other goal in sight, and that internal pressure slowly unbalances you. One day you see what seems like a taller hill in the distance, and you set off to conquer it, only to discover it was a mirage. You die of old age, still searching for the way back. About that time, I finish the dishes, and mommy lets me back out to play King Of The Hill with everyone else. My hill.

I bring Olivia Armstrong, who is unmoved by their cuteness. ...unfortunately, after the bloodbath it sure as hell isn't my bloody hill. So I replace her sword with a plastic replica and then attack her with an axe. My hill. Until the Major comes by, anyway.

You fall off the hill
The fact that this is impossible because the hill is gently sloped allows my highly developed prog brain to exploit its untruth to the extent that a black hole deletes you as an aberration against the system. My hill.

    • Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious. 

      4/5
