SATAN - Atom By Atom CD

The band's just spot-on. Ross sings unbelievably good, like not a single year has passed since he sang on Court in the Act, and many songs seem to be pulled out directly from their debut, with only an enhancement in production values. Did he sell his soul to his band's moniker originator for eternal youth? Does he bathes in virgin's blood once every week? We may never know the answer, but he remains as powerful as ever, just like the guitar attack of Steve Ramsey and Russ Tippins, ageless and even richer than during the 80s. The rhythmic section of Graeme English and Sean Taylor may not be as stellar as their frontman or the six-stringer's dual prowess, but it's quite tasty and classy in its own right. Although perhaps not as engaging and flawless as Life Sentence by a tiny difference, again, in 2015 Satan has put the high standard by which all heavy metal albums of the year should be measured… and I believe none will reach nor has reached as high as this one. Now, if only they could come to tour here in Mexico… Maybe someday. I believe we have plenty of time for that to happen. Fortunately, Satan's here to stay… and to slay!
