ZERRE - Rotting on a Golden Throne
Dying Victims Productions
I'd file this one under the genre terms of Thrash, Crossover and Speed Metal. I've listened to it a few times now and I like it a lot because it reminds me of past greatness which I remember so well. This five piece act hails from Germany. I seriously doubt you'll see em on a stage at Wacken Open Air. Then again you might catch em playing at the worst club in Berlin. I'm thinking some basement underneath an Indian restaurant. After hours the place smells like spilled beer, sweat and curry.
Be that as it may this is the fourth full length by ZERRE. Years ago after two albums a German Speed Metal band would be doing Power Metal. Obviously that's the case here. This release has nine cuts on it but actually it's eight with a boring intro. These guys are into long stretched out songs. Whatafuck, ya think you're Germany's version of METALLICA? Well maybe they do influence wise.
While listening to these songs I had to laugh a few times. The actual opening cut is "Pigs Will Be Pigs". Yeah you guys are too young to know who the Stasi where. "Concrete Hell" is a damm good cut and should be a video hit. The title track is where these Germans show their EXODUS influence. Which is cool as fuck to me.
The bottom line is that ZERRE's fourth full length will be better received by young underground enthusiasts as opposed to shiny over produced bullshit mainstream Thrash.Hey that's why I like it and it's a fuckin winner.
