NEIL TURBIN
THREATCON DELTA
© 2003 Metal Mayhem Music
After such a long time without hearing Neil Turbins vocals on a metal album, I was REALLY hungry to hear this album. THREATCON DELTA is the name if this metal gem, and it is a full force of metal madness. Complete with lyrics, some photos, and the NT logo reminiscent of the New York Mets logo, THREATCON DELTA has it all. Put the CD in, press play, and listen .
The sirens go off the atmosphere builds & the anticipation grows. Wake Up Call is an introduction the leads into the first bone crushing song. Blasting into Cut To The Chase, the latest offering from legendary vocalist Neil Turbin provides a throat choking, head banging metal masterpiece. Cut is a great album opener with speedy palm muting on guitar, amazing solo work, and hints of Neils signature belting scream.
What You Cant Control has an awesome sing-a-long chorus; the whole song is a roller coaster ride of speed metal fury! The drum work here is killer and works tightly with the bass guitar. Reminiscent of his old Anthrax tunes, What is a nice nod to Neils roots.
Sick Of It All is an aggressive/angry song, incorporating some distorted vocal lines, adding to the complete feel of this song. A raw and slow song, Sick
shows how Neil can still bring it down a notch and still kicks your ass.
Keep The Fire KICKED MY ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This song FUCKING RULES. Neil REALLY sings his heart into this song; a metal anthem with POWER, EMOTION, and a chorus that cannot be ignored. Soaring guitar solos really emphasize the power in this song. This song was played several times before the next was played, and with good reason. See for yourself!!!!
The Truth Is The Best Lie is another song with a sing-along chorus and killer lyrics.
Dealing the had line is a dangerous game
Those poisonous minds in a world of pain
The moment of truth, well its all the same
Youre trapped in your mind and theres no escape
Closing off with Neils scream, The Truth kicks ass.
My favorite song off this album, Blue Screen Of Death, has it all!!! Opening with chugging guitar, then BLASTS into Neils SCREAM!!! An impressive opening, this song continues with its excellence, keeping in great time and melody. Evil and powerful lyrics dominate!! You cannot help but to bang your head till it falls off!!! More melodic singing and screams are executed while the chorus is sung in backup by the rest of the band. Absolutely killer!!! This song is reminiscent of Metal Thrashing Mad from Anthrax. Try NOT to listen to this song only once CANT BE DONE!!!!!
Dolly Dagger, which is a Jimi Hendrix cover, is a nice nod to the past and to Neils influences.
Rat Race keeps a good beat, melody, and time signature. With guitar licks in just the right places, Rat once again shows how THREATCON is PACKED with awesome metal anthems. This song cannot be skipped!!
Vigilante Justice is more heavy rock orientated, in vein of old-school Riot. A very in-your-face feeling is presented here, and shows again how Turbin can hold his own on more than just thrash metal.
Touch Too Much has a nice beat to it, but its not one of my favorite songs. This song has too much of an 80s hair metal feel to it, much like what I would expect from Kiss or Warrant. I dont really like this song, so it gets skipped sorry.
Wrecking Ball is more heavy rock orientated, with a more than slight 80s feel to it. This is most likely a song from the unknown era of Neils career, which I know nothing of. Keeping a nice flow and beat, Wrecking incorporated some blues and rock and does a decent job of it. Not bad!!
Dog Eat Everything (not Anthony Eat Everything
LOL) opens with accelerated guitar work, putting you back into the fast lane. This song has a GREAT breakdown & chorus. Turbin sings his ass off, and the metal reigns supreme here.
Tearin though silence is a dangerous sound
Screaming bloody hell thrashin like a hound
Ready to devour storming the gates
Unless youre the lead dog the views all the same
Yet another head banging masterpiese!!!
Piece Of Me has some great screaming guitar and heavy melody. The pace is swift and goes for the throat. Once more, a sing along chorus is offered. A very nice way to end the album, leaving the listener wanting more!!
THREATCON DELTA is a GREAT Welcome Back Neil Turbin album to me. Ive missed his voice & this album shows hes alive, kicking ass, and taking no prisoners. Leaving his Anthrax days behind, THREATCON is in NO WAY a Metal Thrashing Mad PART II its a modern-day power/thrash metal album with some very nice nods to past memories of screams and beats. Hear your Wake Up Call get THREATCON DELTA it will kick your ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!
