Destroyer 666 - Cold Steel… for an Iron Age
Now relocated to Europe, these former Aussie blasphemers have also changed their sound slightly as well. This album, their second for Season of Mist, and fourth overall, is faster in general and less diverse than their previous work. Unchain the Wolves (their second album) was probably the most diverse disc in their catalog, but this one is no less potent. If you enjoy bands like Razor, Destruction, Kreator, old Exodus, Slaughter or any of the faster brutal Thrash bands from the ‘80s, you will surely enjoy Cold Steel… for an Iron Age. I kind of miss the more atmospheric stuff from their previous albums, songs in the vein of “Lone Wolf Winter” or “Unchain the Wolves” where there were keyboards, clean vocals and some slower guitar work. Not only did those songs break up the speed-fest, but they also stood out as being different, yet still just as fucking sick as the rest of the tracks. I still think this album kicks ass, though Unchain the Wolves and Phoenix Rising are more interesting in my opinion.
