"Blood of the Nations", the first sound very powerful offering (courtesy of Andy Sneap: Megadeth, Testament ..), with killer guitars and very heavys in all the work, giving body to the metal Accept life that we like, the second return Herman Frank the group from "Balls to the Wall" and after passing through groups like Victory, Moon Doc or Sinner. Along with Wolf Hoffmann make a formidable duo. Entering
squarely on the content of the record, it takes twelve songs plus one extra in my opinion Time Machine dispensable and less than that shown in other courts.
I think the record than was offered in the past three combo "Objection Overrulled", "Death Row "and" Predator ", being more balanced and complete them, which could remove some stuff, especially" Objection. " I also want to anticipate that the disc is a masterpiece (hopefully not at this point, another "Restless and Wild", "Metal Heart" and "Balls to the Wall"), but the level is remarkable, having two or three subjects less achieved.
Entering the heart of what gives Accept in 2010, the themes are all direct and aggressive, except the power ballad Kill the Pain with a predominance of acoustic and alone to frame, full of feeling, the intro gives Mark's step amazing, a true guitar hero shows like Hoffmann, leaving its stamp of class, at the height of Schenker or Moore. It is curious Screw versatility, this topic looks like another singer, very good.
Topics fastest four, which opens Beat the Bastards (cojonuda, full-scale fireworks display), Locked and Loaded (fulminant), Rollin Thunder (adrenaline) and No Shelter (great bass line Baltes , much like Wrong is Right and a few taps to remember, pay attention at minute three.) To give you an idea, there are four issues cuernitis total.
The other group of subjects are half time mark the house where Teutonic Terror highlights for me is the best song of the Germans in the last twenty years, this is heavy metal to break necks and other nonsense, the mammoth main riff, chorus tap brutal and sensational, the hearing several times. Tornillo delivery stop, the choirs sheltering the stratospheric plotting to bring us great memories eighties. A classic since its birth and the head of the lot, with six horns.
Energy and strength show The Abyss (despite a small dip in the slow half, has a lot of bad blood in the chorus), Pandemic (another small nod to his greatest works, direct and choirs typical of them), the anthem title track with that crushing main riff, ideal for direct and closing bucketful of Hate tough as nails, a great clip to disk.
Unfortunately also include New World Comin them loose to be very melodic, not a lack of grip but with a very simple chorus and Shades of Death to introduce keyboards at its beginning and even large bay screw level, I find it rather heavy, with more than seven minutes long.
Undoubtedly a great return on Accept after fourteen years, that will satisfy fans of the group in general and those who like good heavy metal, full of strength, highly technical and made with taste. Screw passes the smell test and the group does not charge at all Dirkscheiner output.
"Blood of the Nations" is a serious candidate to be among the best of the year and, despite a slump, he deserves a remarkably high.
