DEFCON ONE, for whatever reason all I think of is Nazi Zombies from Call of Duty. This music sorta sounds like it could be in there, seeing as all the original music was typically Death Metal. I feel like that music had a bit more to offer though, even for songs that you literally had to go around and find in order to just listen to once and most people didn't even care about because they're stupid and don't like Metal.. I mean, come on, Metal had everything. DEFCON ONE are part of that everything, playing Death Metal, the extreme that tends to make everyone figure we are all Satanists and sacrifice goats and all that fun stuff, my typical Friday night and all. "The Perfection Of Slavery" made me feel a little weird at first, sounds a bit like a Deathcore band trying to be "edgy" with their new single, but I assure you this is not Deathcore, this is some raw Death.

At first I wasn't sure what to think of this album, and in some cases I'm still not entirely sure. The music is great, the instrumentals are great, the vocals are pretty damn good and what I can gather from the lyrics, well they're great. After a few listens through, I began to piece something together, this is a concept album, or at least sounds like it. The transitions in this album are amazing, each it sounds like one long ever changing song. Transition is key, it keeps flow, most bands don't realise this and its something that FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE has taught me more recently. Flow is important to an album and the easiest and also most difficult way to keep it is with constant transitions from one song to the next. DEFCON ONE's "The Perfection Of Slavery" transitions in a unique way, using ambient sounds and a line or two of narrative dialogue the songs blend in and out so easily.

Honestly, I don't have much more to say. Was this even a review? Okay, let's try this. The album is either a concept album or sounds like one, if these guys were able to make that blatantly obvious without having to out and say it then I'd say they did their job right. The music itself is typical Death Metal, nothing to special all in all but it's good regardless. As stated above, the transitions are honestly reason enough to listen to this album because they're awesome! Death Metal is hard to make memorable, but "The Perfection Of Slavery" is definitely an album you'll come back to.
