Wreck-Defy - Powers That Be

Sublevel Records

This has quite a line-up featuring guitarist Matt Hanchuck alongside former Annihilator singer Aaron Randall, former Testament bass player Greg Christian and former Malevolent Creation drummer Alex Marquez. The question is, of course, is this any good. I didn’t think so. It sounds too modern sounding for me and the vocals are too much in that tough guy mode and the drums sound too triggered for my ears. The music is bone crushing at times fast thrash metal, but it just has like that Machine Head sound to it and I wasn’t impressed with this at all I’m afraid. The slow and mind-paced stuff was plain awful.
