Белые волки

Former Soviet thrash metal band Korrozia Metalla had become an unintentionally amusing train wreck throughout the nineties and early years of the new millennium. One year and a half after the terrible Pagan Gods, the group around bassist and vocalist Sergey ''Pauk'' Troitsky comes around with White Wolves which features fifteen songs with a generous running time of sixty-two minutes. The album is slightly below average but easily the best the band has released since the early nineties. Even the cover artwork is bearable this time around after the last two experimental attempts.

To be honest, this record offers quantity over quality but most tracks are actually acceptable. The band plays raw punk rock with occasional grindcore elements. The lyrics aren't as openly racist and exaggeratedly silly as on the previous outputs and a little bit more clever this time around. Rhythmic opener ''Russia Without Shit'' is performed with enough anger to convince even though the raw lead vocals are once again supported by those heavily distorted additional vocals that sound as if the singer had a cucumber stuck in his anus. ''White Wolves'' manages to find an appropriate balance between melodic guitar leads and tough punk rock riffs which makes it a worthy title track.

Korrozia Metalla wouldn't be Korrozia Metalla if there weren't a few irritating oddities on this release. ''Glory to Us All'' is a live track right in the middle of this release that doesn't blend in at all. Even musically, the track is plain weird as it starts as piano ballad with childish vocals to evolve into a fast punk rock tune with raw vocals. The closing trio of this album is also quite strange. ''Infernal Maniac'' is a stoic industrial rock tune that sounds like a very poor attempts at copying Rammstein. The electronic sound effects sound like a broken pinball game from the eighties. The distorted vocals are particularly nerve-firing again. ''Four Letters'' is a reference to the catchphrase All Cops Are Bastards and comes around as silly old-fashioned folk song with military march drum passages. If it had been the band's intention to make us laugh, then they certainly did a good job because this song sounds plain ridiculous. The closing ''Favourite Military Marches'' is exactly what it claims to be and offers a medley of vintage military march tunes that don't fit with anything else on this album. Maybe the band leader wanted to offer an eclectic mixture of old-fashioned music to satisfy his veteran grandfather.

Despite numerous odd tunes and quite a few fillers, Korrozia Metalla's White Wolves is an improvement over the last few studio albums and especially the opening tracks offer some fierce punk rock with occasional grindcore passages. The band wouldn't release another studio record for six years and a half which might indicate that it came to the conclusion that offering quantity over quality doesn't pay off. This record might be enjoyable for skinheads and soccer hooligans but fans of the band's speed and thrash metal roots should stay away from this.
