Greetings from Austria the land of the kangaroos

Howdy everyone

I am Sinan the Sinner, from Graz/Austria, the hometown of Arnold Schwarzenegger. There are no kangaroos here, they are in Australia,  instead we have  loads of mountains and Schnitzel.

I am the proud father of one LP, it´s my first one. My metal project is called Kindly Brutal.

You can find my stuff on Bandcamp.

People have children, but as for me, I am looking forward to give birth to many Albums  as possible and live on a  hilltop house somewhere in Toscany with a glass of red wine in my hand.

 

That´s it I guess. Let´s keep in touch with each other.

In case i don´t see you, good afternoon, good evening, good night!

Welcome, my friend!  Always great to converse with fellow metalheads!  I must say, that scenario of a hilltop house sounds incredible to me!  A man could do far worse.  What are some of your favorite styles of metal, perhaps maybe even those that differ from what you do in your own project?

Hey James, thanks for the welcome.

I am grinding for that hilltop house i guess 😈

 

I am not picky with my genres, i would say I like bands that incorporate more than one genre.

Lately I´ve been listening a lot to Sulphur Aeon, Batushka, and this band called Kromheim. 

I must say I like lots of styles it is hard for me to pick one.  My favourite styles are black, death,melodeath and viking themed metal I guess. 

I also wouldn´t mind some oldschool thrash metal and NWOBM.

Other than that I am  into some early grindcore, especially Brutal Truth and a polish band i have just discovered. They are called Nuclear Vomit, I am almost sure you haven´t heard of that band ;) They have one track that is called PETA(People Eating Tasty Animals). They are very creative with their song titles. 

 

The lyrics are also very important to me. I like it when the message is  heard loud and clear, in your face  and when the artist gives no room for interpretation :)

Greetings from the actual land of kangaroos.

 

I will be up in Austria though in April next year!  Vienna is one of my favourite places in the world and I am also visiting Salzburg for first time.

 

Good luck with the album.

Are you landing in Vienna? Ticket price must be enormous to travel on the other side of the earth. If you could dig a tunnel through the center of the earth would be closer :)

    • 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!

      3/5

    • 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
