DEKONSTRUCTOR - Ominous Game review


 

DEKONSTRUCTOR - Ominous Game

Self Released


The first time I listened to this I was like wait a minute I've heard this band and written about em before. I was wrong. It's not the band but their style of death thrash which is reminiscent of other great stuff I like. This is the second full length by this four piece act from Costa Rica. The band has been around since 2013 but their first official release came out in 2017 which was a three song demo titled Life Sucking Machines. 


In the past I've always mentioned that despite Thrash being a US metal thing. For me over the past couple of decades I've found the best thrash coming from elsewhere. I'll add to that by saying thrash from Central and South America has pretty much ruled the extreme metal landscape. And this release right here just fuckin proves it. 


Ominous Game is seven amazing tracks that don't break any new ground. Instead they reinforce the coolness of fuckin death thrash extreme metal mania. The vocals are straight up angry. The riffs are pounding to the point of slam pit action. The guitar soloing is fuckin fantastic. And the rhythm section once again screams slam pit action. 


Look people I've said it before that I'm not a huge thrash fan anymore. Mainly because modern thrash is so boring or copycat bullshit. The only thing of late that gets me outta my complacency is something like this. I mean not only does their music make you wanna run through walls but there's some head banging cuts as well. So to the lame-stream music fans out there fuck the bullshit and listen to this.


DEKONSTRUCTOR should be a Thrash household name.
