SCRUDA - Fury Among Ruins
Godz ov War Productions
Seriously as soon as the opening cut "Philosophy" kicked in I literally said "Holy Fuckin Shit"! Let me tell ya I'm an old SOB (61) but I still love that feeling when you drop the needle on an album or push a play button for a CD (or a tape) and BOOM. It's chaos from the first second. It never gets old for me.
The genre tagline on this is Blackened Thrash / Speed Metal, ah yeah! SCRUDA are a three piece act from Poland and this is their amazing debut album. And yes amazing is the perfect way to set this one up because for around the span of eighteen minutes with ten songs this band just rips like fucken hell has been unleashed.
First off the vocals by bassist, The Conqueror, come off as a cross between LG Petrov (ENTOMBED), Martin van Drunen (ASPHYX) and a Neanderthal. The backing vocals by guitarist Firecracker are gang Hardcore screams. All of that is topped off with cool headbanging slam pit educing riffs from pretty much every song on here. The guitar tone is all death crunch. And their drummer, Wall of Flesh, gives a wall of pounding thunder.
When I listen to this album I wish I was thirty years younger in a slam pit at one of this band's shows at a club in Poland. I'm talking about a real pit with circle slam dance action. I'm not talking about that thug push and shove shit. Nor am I talking about that silly metalcore dance crap. I'm talking violence where a PI (Pit Injury) was a sign to be proud of.
This album just fuckin rules!
