Sadus - Illusions

An Atomic Explosion of Chemical Proportions - 92%

rottencoffinspirit, May 31st, 2009

Man, oh, man. Does this album leave your eardrums caught up in a bloody mess. This is absolute brutality in consistency. Then again the masters behind this legendary monster, Sadus, were able to deliver an album so bonecrushing, so together, it will leave you headbanging all the way.

The album starts off with some sort of weird noise( yeah?) leading the listener to an apocalyptic end of what is the song Certain Death.This song kills, no doubt. It tells the listener whats in store for the next half hour, yeah the album is short, but it's o.k. it makes up for musicianship. The songs just pummel their way through your cerebral cortex. The guitars are played fast, the drums are played fast, the bass shreds, and the vocalist literally spits out his words. The sadudes here delivered us a death metal classic. Note that I say death metal( in vein of the old times) this is waaaay too brutal for the thrashers. Man, oh, man, death metal sounded the best when played with this kind of ferocity, I do not not know why the genre stopped giving us this sort of sound. Now a days you only get the groovish, heavy, blasting all the way death metal sound. That remark is in no way disclaiming the great brutal death metal bands ( Broken Hope, Cryptopsy, Suffocation). Its just to say many bands kinda lured away from the real idea of death metal, ( look up Possesed's Seven Churches).

The general idea of this album is to crush, kill, and destroy. The idea is represented in the albums entirety. Songs like The Undead and Torture definately leave the metal posers massacred. Just listen to the vocalists shrieks in the song Torture, he kinda reminds me of Maniac in the Deathcrush EP. Killer, just killer. The bass here is a worthy mention, definately a hundred times audible, with Mr. DiGiorgio at helm.

For the true fans of old school death metal, highly reccomended. It will please your deathrashing needs. Not for those weak in mind.
