Desaster - Angelwhore (2005)

   Desaster had a quite eventful musical history during it's over 3 decades long existence and meanwhile they bacame an influental band in German underground metal.
   Their aggressive blackened thrashing was strongly influenced by the Norwegian black metal scene. This could be sensed on their demo recordings already, and counted as a determing feature of their music on their early albums. "Tyrants of the Netherworld" was some kind of turning point in the band's life, because their themes turned more old school, and thrash metal riffings predominated over the traditional blacknened themes. The current style of Desaster started to develop. In this direction they went forward on "Divine Blasphemies" and by a new frontman further changes came. Clear sound exchanged the previous black sizzling, and the vocal performance of Herr Sataniac upgraded the main impression from aggressive to insanely aggressive. "Angelwhore" was probably the album when their musical progression took it's final form. They wrote catchier and more diverse themes that are referring back by some hidden Venomous touch to the '80s when extreme genres were born. The clear modern sound increased it's effectiveness of this blasphemic masterpiece into very extreme levels. Hails to the "Angelwhore"!
