MASTER

Release Year: 2022
Artist Origin: USA
Style: intense straightforward death thrash metal

Paul Speckmann has already been making a stir in ferocious Chicago thrash scene with Abomination demos, but it was Master three-piece that has started it all and that actually pushed the pedal harder to enter the death metal world too, nowadays cited as one of the forerunners of the ominous, heavy-weighted genre - most of these pivotal songs were written in 1985 already, just that their first deal failed and they had to wait until 1990 to re-record this material and to unleash it via most promising German label; using basic equipment, the production was deliberately unpolished, adding to the intensity and energy of the aggressive music, contributing to its gritty, underground feel, capturing the raw essence of rabid, powerful and uncompromising material with a unique, tense atmosphere; recent Dutch slipcase edition comes with newly remastered sound and Re-Entry and Destruction bonus
