Massacre\/Sound Pollution<\/p>\n
Fresh-faced thrash quartet DIABOLUS DUST debuts with Massacre. Formed in 2006, the seminal line up of Jurgen Dachl, vocals, Roland Zehrer, bass, Stefan Fessert, drums, and Anton H. Lini concatenated in 2008. Old school is the aim, and thrash says the info sheet. Well, fire away. <\/p>\n
They open with the title track, very old school in the first place. The old METALLICa fare works most of the time, they steer clear of latter day outings from Hetfield & co. The song thunders along but lacks a bit in the refrain department. Unfortunately DIABOLUS DUST lose their grip with songs 2-4. There might be echoes of everyone from ZAKK WYLDE to CLOVEN HOOF, but the refrains are not discernable from the verses in any way. It takes until track five, \u201cCreatures\u201d, a HOLOCAUST-sounding slower number before the band awakens. The refrain-based song surely raises my eyebrows. Then there is some pedestrian efforts before they finish in grand form with a trio of tracks. \u201cIn Vain\u201d has a dissonant riff that stands out, transcending into a SLAYER\/METALLICA hybrid with the best of both worlds. \u201cThe Mirror\u201d has a refrain that varies on the \u201cWasted Years riff\u201d, moving on to a faster and rougher style with affine refrain. The catchy heavy metal ending of \u201cNever Surrender\u201d actually brings SAXON to mind. But not for the reasons you believe. The song is about being on stage and believing in the band, a story-telling that glimpses of \u201cAnd the Bands Played On\u201d and \u201cRock the Nations\u201d. DIABOLUS DUST saves face with some promising tracks, but also by leaving the thrash genre. I wouldn\u00b4t be at all surprised to see a style change with their next outing\u2026<\/p>\n
