AGGRESSION - Fragmented Spirit Devils CD

New millennium reunions are always a delicate subject, as I have no doubt that many people's only impulse to check out those so-called 'comeback' albums is complaining how the involved bands don't sound good anymore, if compared to when they had 20 years less on their shoulders. It may be true, but it's no use in making it the main point of your criticism. Of course, I'm aware of several records whose only effect was irreparably damaging entire discographies, but I don't think that's enough to avoid the whole category, especially when we're talking about an act which is enjoying its most fertile period after 2000. Canadian cult band Aggression is an easy example, given how they only managed to release a single album back in the day, 1987's The Full Treatment, notable for having probably the loudest bass tone ever recorded, among other things. You can imagine that stubbornly refusing to acknowledge releases not made during their original run would be particularly stupid, not least because the guys have long since moved on and delivered another three brand new LPs, the first of which, the here examined Fragmented Spirit Devils (2016).
