ANIMALIZE - Verminateur
Dying Victims Productions
And they are back and just as cool as before. A few years ago I checked out this French band's debut album Meat We're Made Of. Basically this four piece act had a sound like a page torn from 1980's Heavy Metal. I mean it was far more that a copycat homage. These guys took that style and created their own path. Which is why I thought one was an amazing album.
How do you follow up that greatness? Well you do it one better which is what Verminateur is all about plus you make it French Heavy Metal. Imagine an 80's era HM band from LA but they're French. That's pretty much what you got with ANIMALIZE. The band knows how to rock and also touches onto the Speed Metal genre on a few cuts.
There are many great things about ANIMALIZE, on this album, first off is that the vocals are all in French. Great vocals by the way. Secondly there's some catchy as fuck songs with great solos added. Once again this is not a remake of the past. ANIMALIZE have just remade an old Metal genre and come away with it sounding fresh.
I really feel bad for those who are pining for the past by still living there and do not acknowledge this as some great fuckin music. Not only that but this band brings the 80's to the 2025 era in a good way. I say that while there's a ballad playing on this album.
Nuff Said.
