Master: The witchhunt
13/10/13 || Cobal
So you like death metal, uh? How about adding some thrash metal and rock ‘n’ roll influences to your old-school death metal? Well, that’s exactly what Master did for their last work, “The Witchhunt”. More specifically, this sounds as though Lemmy Kilmister made Kerry King pregnant and their child decided to go old-school in the twenty first century. Me, not only did I find this amusing but pretty exhilarating. Having been largely disregarded by the “experts” all over the world, Paul Speckman and company prove once more that gracefully regressing is sometimes way better than aimlessly “evolving”. Unfortunately, in a world where almost everything has been done already, I wouldn’t be surprised that this passed unnoticed.
8/10: This is probably the best grade that good ol’Paul will ever get in this zine.
After going thru that crap, you most likely wanna read something way more interesting. You do, admit it.
