Desaster - Divine Blasphemies
If you like your Black Metal a bit heavy on the Thrash Metal side, Desaster is definitely something that will appeal to your taste buds. I’m tempted to say that Desaster is not really a Black Metal band at all because their last two releases have had more in common with the old German Thrash gods Sodom, Destruction and Kreator than with anything Bathory ever produced. The music is a bit on the speedy side, though never going overboard a-la Immortal. The riffs on this album, much as on their previous album, Tyrants of the Netherworld, are solid headbangers. They get your already damaged vertebrae grinding and snapping just like in the ’80s when the old Thrash masters were still in their prime. I enjoyed this album more for its energy and ability to capture the feeling of old German Thrash than because this was musically innovative or original. Divine Blasphemies, like Tyrants of the Netherworld, is an album that is solid and true to the genre without being overly derivative and boring.
