Accuser - DiabolicThe Thrashers of have been fighting each other since 1986 Accu§er through the world of metal and the latest release “Diabolic” is the band’s ninth full-length. Accu§er have never sounded so mad with anger before, the blazing glow of the raging anger is blinding and the Siegeners hit it hard without batting an eyelid. Fortunately, Accu§er have not allowed themselves to be infected in any way by the new wave trend from overseas, they are thrashing in the old style and anyone who already liked the newer releases like “Agitation” or “Dependent Domination” is guaranteed to like the latest album too Have fun. The current work manages to match the quality of the best Accu§er albums and even surpasses them in many respects.

Accu§er were founded in Siegen in 1986 and found their very own musical niche with their sound between Bay Area Thrash Metal and the sound of German representatives like “Kreator” or “Destruction”. However, unlike greats like Kreator, Sodom and Destruction, one of the first German thrash metal bands was only able to attract attention within the scene; international success was denied to the band, while some successes were achieved within Germany. After a few line-up changes, the band split in 1996 due to a lack of commercial success and musical differences, but in 2008 they regained their place in the thrash metal scene with full power. In May 2010 there will be new material again with “Agitation” with great classic trash riffs, melodic leads and virtuoso solos. The album “Dependent Domination” was created together with producer Martin Buchwalter (Destruction, Suidakra) and now Accu§er are following up and their new album “Diabolic” will be released on April 12th. This is where Accu§er show themselves at their best, Bullit Belt Thrash at Neck breaking speed and with their very own touch.

On “Diabolic” there are ten tracks right in the middle of thrash, full on twelve, so to speak. After a progressively plucked intro, Mr. Schmidt's fingers fly over the fretboard of his guitar as punk as ever. Already during the first songs it becomes clear that there will be no escape from this steamroller. The title track “Diabolic” is backed by a nice groove, always blasts away cheekily, incorporates some gentle delays and in addition to the pissed off vocals, which sometimes fade out with a bit of reverb, it's the solos that always dart like crazy that are wonderful set appropriate accents and give the songs a high recognition value. Despite all the thrash, the fan doesn't have to miss out on a little variety; the surprisingly sophisticated tempo changes are just as convincing as the deep shouts that complement the blast beats of the drums. There's nothing to complain about with the vocals either, on the contrary, memories of the great Chuck Billy come up every now and then.

To accuse

Solos, instrumental endings and transitions as well as a few colorful nuances like the horror shrill in “Deification” are the eyes of the storm in which you can take a short breather before all hell breaks loose again and the entire weight of the world collapses on you. In “Cannibal Insanity” acoustic and electric guitar compete for some sequences and with “Deification” you can almost hear slight core influences. “Dethroned” comes to the fore with the almost melodic approach of the lead guitar and it is remarkable how precise and unerring the entire band appears. It's not always just the twelve, but songs like the title track, “Apocalyptic Decay”, “Beyond The Blackness” and “Save Your Legends” inspire with melodic, original riffs, rhythmic swings and almost consistently memorable choruses. Even with the long track “World Wide Violence” there is no boredom at all.

At no time does one even get a hint of the idea that the reins could slip out of hands for a second while listening. Even though the songs generally have an overly long playing time, words like boredom or toddled to death are absolutely out of place. Accu§er take advantage of their chance and release an unexpectedly strong album with “Diabolic”, which certainly couldn’t have been expected after “Dependent Domination”. While some songs on “Dependent Domination” sounded a bit uniform, especially towards the end of the playing time, “Diabolic” maintains the tension. In addition, the band's Bay Area influences can still be heard, but Accu§er now sound more like themselves than ever before. Special mention should be made here of the truly brilliant guitar solos, which are always a real highlight of each song and are both technically impressive and shine with fine melodies.

Accuser - Diabolic
Accuser - Diabolic

Accuser don't play it safe, because the songs all crack the five minute mark, ten songs in more than sixty minutes of pure thrash power. Although you are beaten softly for more than an hour, the experienced steel skull does not lie in ruins at the end, but grins blissfully. When it comes to lyrics, Accu§er have always been among the pleasantly critical spirits and this album is no exception. Instead of daring to undertake complex experiments, the wood is cut for an entire hour until the forest has passed into nirvana. Deep guitars and high solos, catchy mid-tempo hymns and unpredictable blast beats, hardcore punk attitude and metal sound - this album sits between the stools and is proud of it. And rightly so, because I wouldn't bet that another thrash album this year will clean your ear canals with such snorts and rages. So friends, put away the scythe and get to the combine harvester, because with “Diabolic” I currently have a favorite album and I consider it a hot contender for the title “Thrash Album of the Year”. Definitely buy it!

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced press reporting politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.

My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I'm aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I won't change it to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it is "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever ;) I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.

It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called.
