Megadeth: Super Collider



MEGADETH 
SUPER COLLIDER
   Firstly, lets make something clear. Megadeth released Peace Sells.... But Who's Buying?, in 1986. They released Rust In Peace, in 1990. Countdown To Extinction, was released in 1992. So why, in 2013, would Megadeth decide to release the same album again? Those three albums previously mentioned already exist, why would they try to release the same album over and over again? More importantly, why would anyone want them to? The answer is, no band who is aiming to remain relevant and please fans with fresh and invigorating albums, would churn out generic albums every few years. If you're a fan of Megadeth, you will certainly buy a copy of Super Collider, appreciate that it consists of a selection of brilliantly new and energising songs, and then listen and enjoy the new material. If you're a "Keyboard warrior", or a "online troll" then you will probably take to the internet to voice your opinion concerning Megadeth, Super Collider and Dave Mustaine. Realistically, Megadeth have been leading the world of Metal-Music and Thrash-Metal for the last three decades, released some of the best albums in the game and continue to provide Rattleheads with the essential level of snarling Thrash, that they so desperately need. Super Collider, will only strengthen Megadeth's legacy and prove a fan favorite. So to all the "haters", Megadeth have released fourteen albums and had an extremely successful career, that's a lot more impressive than most peoples accomplishments. 
   All the negativity aside, Megadeth have done it again. Super Collider is an epic display of mastery. Less aggressive and less focused on straight forward Thrash, Super Collider explores a wider range of styles, to create a memorable and unique selection of tracks. Title track Super Collider, and album opener Kingmaker, provide the heaviness and the infectious choruses. Cold Sweat, is an ambitious yet incredible performance of heavy riffs, angered snarling vocals, and a inescapable hint of Rock n Roll. Far more adventurous than other recent Megadeth releases, Super Collider is destined to meet tough scrutiny. 
   A guest appearance from Device and Disturbed front-man, David Draiman, makes for an interesting and exciting highlight. The songs themselves are amazing. Packed with diversity and variety, each song carries a distinct sound and individual presence on the album. Love it or hate it, this album delivers a brilliant dose of Metal and a bunch of fantastic songs. As much as fans pray for it not to be, if Super Collider was Megadeth's final album, it would be a worthy good-bye. 

9/10

    Thanks for the honest true and real comment you have made of the album that are not at all in anyway jumping the bandwagon of 'haters'. It's true what you said about why re-release similar type of album when they already existed. And it's true of their accomplishment that none of these internet trolls have bothered to acknowledge (but that is given of course as they are 'trolls' after all). I think the album still Metal with interesting riffs and great solos, yes it hasn't quite got the angst and agression that Megadeth is known for but what matters is: they hadn't sold out, they remain true to Metal and Mustaine and co delivered that. I like your fair, unbiased, honest review of the album, at last someone with a brain worthy to review this album.

      Thank you very much! I personally think that Super Collider is a enjoyable album. I also believe that if your going to write a review of an album, why waste the time if your just going insult someones work? If I find an album I'm not particularly keen on, I just don't review it, simple.

EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA

  EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA         The Thrash Metal hierarchy has long been constructed around the mainstream success of the American "Big Four", dwarfing their peers outside of the clique with their mass popularity and stratospheric record sales. Thanks to bands such as Exodus, Testament and Overkill, a revolution has begun. The most recent releases from those bands comprising the Big Four have been good at best, while the latest albums from these previously mentioned outsiders have been breathtakingly excellent.    Persona Non Grata is a crushingly heavy slab of solid Thrash Metal. Gary Holt and fellow guitarist Lee Altus whip up a veritable storm of crunchy, Thrashing, whiplash-inducing riffs from start to finish. A superhuman barrage of drum battery is unleashed by Tom Hunting, accompanied by Jack Gibson's booming, thundering and raking bass notes. All the while Steve Souza sings, screams and snarls like a rabid and possessed vocal maestro....

MASSACRE: RESURGENCE

  MASSACRE: RESURGENCE      Like the walking dead, Massacre just keep coming back time after time. Refusing to stay down, this band simply won't die. To survive, Massacre takes on a new form every ascension, this time they have re-emerged as the Kam Lee band, with the legendary vocalist being the most consistent and regular member of the band over the years and through the numerous reformations.   The Massacre that we are faced with here on Resurgence could be considered as something of a Death-Metal supergroup. Comprising the band alongside Kam Lee; we have Mike Borders on bass guitar whom was previously a member of the band for short spell in the mid 1980's, alongside Jonny Pettersson of Wombbath (and countless other bands and projects) and Rogga Johansson of Paganizer (and possibly even more bands and projects than Jonny) on guitars, Brynjar Helgetun on drums, and Memoriam's resident riff-lord Scott Fairfax providing lead guitar. United this band of talented ...

NO NONSENSE METAL REVIEWS: THE TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2021

  NO NONSENSE METAL REVIEWS: THE TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2021     Despite lockdowns, travel restrictions and the cancellation of normality as a result of an ever present global pandemic, 2021 has been a very healthy year for heavy music. With the cancellation and indefinite postponement of tours, festivals and live music in general, bands and artists have been forced to explore alternative avenues and express their artistic visions and passions in other ways. The down time away from the road has left bands with schedules empty enough to write and record new material, some of which has proven to be exceptionally strong new albums, EPs and compilations. The phenomena of the "lockdown live album" as well as live streaming events and virtual concerts have also become a commonplace staple in many band's discography, showing defiantly that COVID-19 and the consequent restrictions enforced will never suffocate the breath of creativity or shroud the light of the soul. Making the be...
