Dead Head - Kill Division (1999)

   Dead Head plays their aggressive thrashing since the late '80s, and their music went through on a few small changes during the years.
   From "Dream Deciever" their second album the death metal influences became more evindent by focusing more on heavy sound and more aggressive vocal style. The band showed it's best all-round on "Kill Division". It's exaggeratedly rageful approach had an impressive insane effect, even though their music was never known about it's softness. The excellent sound of the album increased the effectiveness of their simple but heavy themes and made it one of the wildest thrash metal albums. They enjoyed to experiment with the song structures, and to invlove catchy themes by staying rough as possible. The main impression reminds to "Pray" by Solstice, but in a less noisy version. The lyrics are showing a genuine approach by their complexity and various topics compared to ordinaty thrash metal lyrics. "Kill Division" was another example of the excelllence of the once remarkable Dutch extreme metal scene, and the album is strongly recommended for the fans of wild thrash metal.
