Using the Internet Wayback Machine, I was able to cull a
few of my old reviews on the old Ominous Vomit site for use here! Enjoy.
Destruktor Nailed
2009 Hells Headbangers
9/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
Firmly rooted in the old schools of black and death metal,
Destruktor deliver a nuclear fucking bomb to the face of the metal scene every
time they release an album. They've stepped it up on this one, from
playing to songwriting to lyrics. Their seamless blend of genres is a
welcome cacophony - thrash, death metal and black metal all find a home in each
and every song on this album. As a death metal fan, I insist that this is
essential listening. They embody the Australian approach to blackened
death and they can also play their instruments well. Not many of the
current wave of brutal black death metal bands are this capable. The
riffs aren't too simplistic, and the drums are light fuckin' speed and spot-on
time-wise. The vocals are powerful low roars, which all good death metal
must have. A death metal band without perverse or powerful growled vocals
is just shit. All told, it's an album that I find difficult to get out of
rotation, being every bit as awe-inspiring as the newest Nile or the debut Nocturnal
Graves album. Death metallers need this album, period. Get it or
die unsatisfied.
