Written in the car on lunchbreak and posted from my cellphone:
Wizzard - Songs of Sin and Decadence.
Wizzard is Metal. This is obviouse from the first riff of the first song and is only reaffirmed when the Lemmy-meets-Tom Angelripper vocals kick in. In an era of Godzilla-partying retro-thrash it is refreshing to listen to an album that is uncompromisingly aggressive and Heavy fuckin' Metal to the core (Yes, I know this is not a new album). Each track stands out on it's own without the sense of repetition that sometimes plagues (amongst second rate wimps and posers) Metal. The subject matter of the lyrics fits the musical style perfectly, with hymns to darkness as well as odes to Metal and Metalheads. The guitar sound is great, crunchy and not overly produced. The drums are pounding! Traditional but that's just the way it should be on this album. The bass is not under-represented as is unfortunatly the case on many albums. The bass riffing is on par with the riff assault coming from the guitars, rellentless on both accounts! The bass is loud in the mix yet not overpowering. Satanic fucking Speed fucking Metal.
Just fuckin get it because I have manly musical taste and say it's good!
