Will we ever get tired of Paul Speckmann? After giving us masterpieces through MASTER, ABOMINATION, and DEATH STRIKE, this incredible and unrelenting musician, who has over 30 records under his belt, simply went on to create yet another new project: CADAVERIC POISON. The band is a trio formed with two other metal veterans Simon Seegel and Felix Darnieder of German Thrash group WITCHBURNER.
The self-titled debut album presented to us is purely a sequence of great pieces of thrash and death metal at its best. You just cannot stop listening to this album.
The familiarly primitive voice of Speckmann, so harsh and cut-through, is immediately the focal point of the whole album. The political and unashamedly direct lyrics communicate all the rage of our sick times.
"Rollover" breaks in with the drums at full speed and a full-body wall of distorted guitars. The rolls, the blast beats only give space to a crushing atmospheric solo.
"Fight For Evil" it's a natural single. Starting with a slowed-down intro the song really starts with the first visceral growl of the vocals. The rhythm of this track is so catchy that you would want to have a wall of death in your living room only so to release the energy that shoots out through the riffs of this song.
"Face the Whore" brings in the slow death; the solos here are beautiful and evocative. In a moment we are thrown again in full-force thrash, with metallic cutting riffs, unforgiving blast beats, and of course, the grinding and prominent screams of Speckmann.
"Bombs Away" was the lyrics single first launched on April 28th, 2016. Under the down tempo, we see images of wars from the past, as the words warn us of the present dangers of re-falling in old mistakes of the world worst conflicts.
You won't be able to stop listening to this CADAVERIC POISON; it will be on loop for weeks. It is that good. Pure old school Thrash Death Metal. It's simple, but with rhythms that envelope you completely. To every play, you will love a different song. Certainly one of the top albums of the year.<
