In the bands own words:
“Japanese
assassins of old school Thrash! Deaflock
make their HPGD debut with their sophomore album "Courage to Expose
All". Full of passionate anger and aggression, Deaflock destroy the listener while maintaining an emotional yet
intense roaring sound. Never too brutal or traditional, this album exposes the
darkness of mankind through the power of the riff, displaying thrusting vocals
straight from the soul. For fans of Carcass, Dark Angel, Destruction, Gamma
Ray, Helloween, Kreator, Megadeth, Rage, Scorpions, Sodom and Voivod. Crisis is
coming... you have been warned!”
This trio are
from Japan and founded 2000. Somehow I can’t imagine a Japanese thrash band but
here they are in all their intense glory. I find it amazing that just three
guys could make so much noise but it is a highly delightful noise all the same!
Ruin Factory
I thought I had
clicked on the wrong link for a minute as nothing was emerging from the
speakers until I turned it up a notch and then all these little sounds came
twiddling out... but no music at all
Clash
Ahh that’s
better! The rhythmic pumping of heavy guitar and snarling vocals is music to my
ears. The pace quickens dramatically
awakening all the senses – even the one that reaches for the volume control! A
good commanding and dominating track with punchy drumming and powerful bass
hooks. The guitar screeches and explodes
into shards of glass – right up my alley!
The umpire of
daily crime
Hypnotic and
devilish it will suck you right into its powerful crescendo of blasting beats
and harsh growling. Definite quality of power in here no mistake! If this track
was a body builder you would definitely see some nice muscles – put it that
way! A lot of untamed energy protrudes from this track and really gets the hair
moving!
Nothing in my
eyes
Striking and
impacting this track holds a profound melodic content that sways neatly and
balanced perfectly by scornful vocals that are just so meaty! Drenched in
pulverising rhythms this will tempt the senses – senseless! The guitar is just
mesmerising and driven feverishly by a compelling kick beat!
Rule over
yourself
Strikingly
beautiful, dreamlike and powerful. Deftly created track. Building up into
another harsh and raucous scenario tempting the obvious – to move the limbs. It just
comes to life and kicks life into the unsuspecting listener. The weighty
rhythms will bear down heavy on the ears. Compelling listen!
Lay hidden
Fast fingered
guitar – this is so tasty! It will just carve you up and spit you out eroding
the ear drums with a vehement quality. It is edgy and aggressive as you would
expect and a superb thrash track – with plenty of bite.
Loneliness
This is so
unrestrained and vibrant as it kicks its way into life with astounding
aggression, it slows briefly and then carries on its onslaught. Blistering
vocals are like a tsunami of pent up anger and extremely corrosive with a
flurry of exciting blast beats and captivating guitar that gathers an
enthralling pace – if this does not move you nothing will.
Only one
Smoldering and
intense this track will leave blisters and turn them into open gaping wounds.
It is indeed infectious in execution and molds itself into a fiery display of
vengeance. The rhythms are uncompromising and venomous as you would expect and
these guys do not disappoint on that score!
Again I’m here
So let’s slow
down the pace now – an almost whispering vocal begins amid some beautiful strings
but soon turns caustic offering plenty of diversity. Despite its slow tempo
this has sinister connotations, deliberately testing and will spark a lot of raw
emotion as it reaches its peak of cantankerous glory.
Remove the Mask
Hard hitting
bass hooks will plant one on the jaw and send you reeling backwards into a maelstrom
of twisting debauchery! Invigorating, captivating and enthralling! Its rhythms
never loosen their grip, a swirling of melodic harmony comes to the fore and
deliciously wraps itself around you like a snake capturing its prey! A
magnificent track to end on and will leave you wanting more.
To Sum Up:
More than just
whets the appetite of destruction this album will have you feasting on it for
days to come! Every track is bristling with venom and bite and along the way
shows absolute diverse pleasure. It is not JUST thrash it is a melting pot of
metal with multiple styles that all blend perfectly together.
Its thrash
elements are spine tingling and its mellow moments although brief are most welcome
and pull together this superb creation from Deaflock.
Most definitely
a recommended listen for thrashers who like that bit more!
