{"product_id":"wehrmacht-shark-attack-dcd","title":"Wehrmacht - Shark Attack - DCD","description":"\u003cp\u003eA question popular among followers of Thrash Metal is undeniably this, “Which is considered the fastest Thrash Metal album of all time?”.\u003cbr\u003eThere would be a high percentage of answers supporting “Reign In Blood”, Darkness Descends” or “Pleasure To Kill”. Now here’s a startling\u003cbr\u003ereality. Wehrmacht’s debut album makes those albums sound as if they were meant to be listed under progressive Metal. The sheer ferocity\u003cbr\u003eof these guys is enough to convince you why they were considered the fastest Heavy Metal band in the underground.\u003cbr\u003eSo what is it that makes this record worthy of being called an underground classic? Right from production to musicianship, the concoction\u003cbr\u003eof several different ideas results into one colossal and inevitably unique style of their own. Many of you would probably wonder that there\u003cbr\u003emight just be a natural leaning towards sloppy playing especially considering my description of their astoundingly fast nature earlier. But the\u003cbr\u003emajor surprise here is that all the musicians are extremely tight and precise with no single riff, solo or beat falling out of place. Tito Matos\u003cbr\u003eis one of the most versatile Thrash singers one has ever heard till date. His clarity of words and ability to keep up with the rest of the band\u003cbr\u003ewith his lightning fast singing is simply commendable.\u003cbr\u003eThe songs in here are all ridiculously speedy pieces of Thrash Metal with practically little or no remorse for the listener. The title track with\u003cbr\u003ethat brilliant rendition of the famously eerie “Jaws” theme kicks off the onslaught with a tearing main riff that shreds away with speed and\u003cbr\u003eprecision.\u003cbr\u003eTeutonic, Bay Area and a few east coast Thrash Metal bands have been instrumental in forging the whole genre altogether but taking the\u003cbr\u003eintensity a couple of notches higher was undoubtedly achieved by bands like Cryptic Slaughter, Soothsayer and finally Wehrmacht. For a\u003cbr\u003eyear that was 1987, “Shark Attack” was way ahead of its time and has been highly regarded as the release that influenced many a band\u003cbr\u003ein the Grindcore and Black Metal genres. To testify this statement of mine, U.K Grindcore pioneers Napalm Death have covered Wehrmacht\u003cbr\u003eon one of their studio compilations, thus proving the exemplary effect this band had in the years to come.\u003cbr\u003eYet the irony still stands out as to why only the most devoted of Thrash Metal\/Crossover freaks know about this band. As for some of you\u003cbr\u003eguys, quit wasting your time listening to the senseless offshoots of Grindcore and shitty Black Metal and get a hold of this classic instead.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - North America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53030206603561,"sku":"P-60900-","price":12.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/9219\/5113\/files\/Wehrmacht-Shark-Attack-DCD-60900-1-1724092590.jpg?v=1778059672","url":"https:\/\/shopusa.season-of-mist.com\/products\/wehrmacht-shark-attack-dcd","provider":"Season of Mist - North America","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
