MASSACRA - Signs Of The Decline CD

What we've got here is basically German thrash metal on overdrive mixed with primordial death metal. There are some passages that are similar to the chunky death/thrash grooving Pestilence had done on their first 2 albums. There are blistering thrash parts which can be described as way more dangerous sounding Kreator. This album also is quite similar to the material Merciless produced around the same period, except this album is a step or 2 more unhinged and reckless. Unhinged and reckless is a bad thing right? No, it is in my eyes an absolute positive trait for raging death/thrash like this. This album is a perfect example of how great a riff salad can be.
