Jungle Rot: Order Shall Prevail

Jungle Rot: Order Shall Prevail
   For the best part of two decades, Jungle Rot have been breathing life into the Oldschool Death-Metal beast. Although firmly rooted in the underground, Jungle Rot have been steadily gaining notoriety throughout their career, reaching scene wide recognition with previous releases; Kill On Command, and the blistering 2013 release, Terror Regime. With their latest release, Order Shall Prevail, Jungle Rot look set to reach critical level, with their most flawless and furious album to date.
   Continuing along the Vader approved path of Thrash infused Death-Metal, Order Shall Prevail is a turbo-charged, full throttle Metal assault, that perfectly accompanies their previous releases, but with a fresh and more invigorating edge. The production is clean, yet raw enough to appease the true Oldschool masses. 
   The melodic riffing is in a far greater supply than even on Terror Regime, with chugging breakdowns appearing on most tracks, making Order Shall Prevail a genuine ten round headbang workout. A guest appearance on "Fight Where You Stand", from Soulfly and all round Metal legend, Max Cavalera, makes for an album highlight that is sure to further the Jungle Rot name, while crushing brains and inducing moshpits in the process. Despite being a largely straightforward Death-metal release, there is no short supply of twists and standouts that makes Order Shall Prevail even more enjoyable, for example, "Trench Tactics", leads with galloping Heavy-metal riffs, before descending into a steamrolling, neck shattering breakdown.
   The groovy style of "Paralyzed Prey"  and title track, "Order Shall Prevail", showcases Jungle Rot's own unique sound and approach at its very best, remaining a perfect example of precise Death-Metal, while being stripped back and straight forward enough to actually be enjoyed. "I Cast The First Stone" is definitely one of the Thrashiest tracks of the album, again adding to the albums unique diversity, but also helping to ensure there isn't a single slow or dull moment to Order Shall Prevail. 
   Overall, Order Shall Prevail is a perfect album, fast, heavy and highly enjoyable. The influx  in recent years of ultra brutal, technical and Slam Death-Metal bands, has rather than made bands like Jungle Rot seem weaker, has actually made them more important and enjoyable than ever, by showing the Death-metal world that you don't have to be completely over the top, to be the best.

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...
