Destroy Destroy Destroy - Battle Sluts

After releasing their first full-length CD, Devour the Power, the Nashville, TN native death metal artists Destroy Destroy Destroy, have returned with Battle Sluts, an even more innovative, melodic, and epic album that could possibly symbolize the creation of American Melodic Death Metal.

Battle Sluts should easily be considered a top contender for the best death metal album of 2009. It is loaded with broad varieties of vocals ranging from black metal screams, to deep death metal growls, to brutal hardcore screaming, even to orchestral singing in the song, The Winged Panther. Every track is glutted with grinding guitar riffs, technical and melodic solos, and intricate, fast-paced percussion. Elements and influences of black metal, Finnish/Swedish melodic death metal, hardcore, thrash, and a hint of Viking are all that comprises this majestic album.

This imagery laced, electrifying, and melodically fast-paced album will have you anxious to listen to it over and over as well as anticipating their future full-length releases. The Second Coming and To Die Without Honor (Interlude) are both instrumentals that take imagery to new heights. You can see and feel everything that Destroy Destroy Destroy is trying to portray in their lyrically imposed instrumentals. Songs like Agents of Hypocrisy and Battle Upon the Arctic Plains evolve into painted stories of battle, victory, honor, and glory.

As soon as Destroy Destroy Destroy hit the roads in January, fans new and old will be moshing to songs such as The Berserker's Field of Whores and Beyond the Scorpion Gate and singing along to Realm of Ancient Shadows, Born of Thunder, and The Return of Geishmal Undead. Anyone who is a fan of Children of Bodom will absolutely love Battle Sluts and won't feel guilty for spending their hard earned money to download or buy the CD.
