From the moment I saw the name of the band I knew that I'm in big trouble. The name is kind of harsh, it's not like other bands' names that you are imaging something like demons and Hell. This name is a star up swearing, however the moment I understood that these guys are from France I figured out quite a lot. It seems that most of the French Metal these days is full of anger and prostration, hence the name. "The Hand of Death" has 14 songs, that's lots of songs and maybe show something about the value for money, I assume that at least they got that.

DEAD COWBOY'S SLUTS, or in short DCS, are stating that they do Thrash Metal, however taking in consideration their origins,I doubt that. Probably it will be more of Technical Thrash with some Metalcore and lots of diverting rhythms, at least that's what most of the Thrash bands from France do. Was I wrong? No I think I wasn't.

After listening to the album for many times I couldn't find myself listening to any song till the end and that's a really bad thing. DEAD COWBOY'S SLUTS have been doing some kind of fusion between Thrash with Metalcore as I mentioned above. Frankly, I dislike this style (dislike is an understatement), therefore I found the album to be merely a noise pollution, by the way my neighbors agreed with me on that.

In a happier note I can say that these guys can play and have skills, just a shame that their skills are over powered by the polluted vocals and over use of too much technical playing. Sorry, I have nothing more to say.
