The DEVASTATOR battleship with Heimathafen Hamburg is back on a great journey and is loading its guns with its latest Full Length: The record with the promising title "The Throne Belongs To Us" will be released on 17 March. For the first release in four years, a deal with Kernkraftritter Records was captured after the predecessors "Beyond Massacre" and "Through Oceans Of Flesh" were released without label support. If, like DEVASTATOR, you can look back on a nearly fifteen-year-old band history, you can also claim to the brutal death throne, at least the one from Hamburg. However, if you bring such strong sayings, you have to deliver. But I have no concern that the five Hamburg guys will succeed. So far, they have created only convincing material, and "The Throne Belongs To Us" will certainly not be an exception. DEVASTATOR, apart from a certain preference for floating steel giants, have devoted themselves to the most brutal death metal styles, that is, they are blown, shredded and gobbled. Cover and intro can be seen in unison as a prelude, both have become really beautifully martial. I like to run the intro while the volume control is turned up, even if the gun shots have got a bit too dull. But the sound of the opener, which is at the same time the name generator of the album, is not dull. The best Death Metal cost is waiting for us, you can not say otherwise. Alone the refrain is - with only one line - extremely easy to sing along and goes really nice in the ear. There are rasierklingenscharfe riffs, which can measure themselves with everything, which is brought about by the best of the genre so. The longest song of the album demands above all Eggi again everything, the legs wegblastet and only occasionally a small bridge to catch the breath. When the blastbeat is not heard, the doublebass is usually maltreated. Wolf and Carsten make an A A job, counteract the drifting percussion with fixed shredding, sometimes with slower riffs, which are always measured correctly.
