This is the fifth EP by this European thrash metal crew! First, I must say that the cover of the release is so great, I really love it! There are five songs on this one. The music is thrash metal, but more on European school of thrash metal than Bay Area or other American counterparts. There are songs about sharks like for example ‘Santa Cruz(Sharkbite PT II) but to me the biggest winner is the sort of title track called ‘Yakuza Finger Collector Crew’. Besides harsh riffs and fast drumming there are also moshing parts and couple of great melodies thrown in for a good measure. So, if you are into great thrash metal, check this one out.
German metal scene is strongest in the world and this is relatively new band but its members have been around in the scene for a long time. Deimos’ Dawn released their brand new opus. This band is fronted by none other than extreme metal veteran singer Marc Grewe(ex-Morgoth, Insidious Disease), but this time is not death metal, but thrash metal in its great form. This opus contains twelve songs of thrash metal mayhem done as only Teutonic Thrash Metal bands can do. The music is a perfect mixture of old school German thrash metal with darkened atmosphere, hint of melody in guitar solos and a bit more modern thrash metal with some tempo changes and a bit of groove. Marc’s vocals are a bit different, not only death metal growling, but also thrash metal shouting and also singing, so it only shows again how talented singer Marc is. Songs and heavy hitters like ‘The Final Illusion’, Too Much Pain Is Not Enough’ or ‘Deathstar Spangled Banner’ are sure to make you pump your fist in the air and wish to be in moshpit at these guys gig. Great album for Euro thrash scene.
