Witchmaster are a polish thrash metal band that
formed in 1996, that has gone through a few line
ups with changes to the drummer an bass player through
out the years, after 5 years of virtual silence
they have have come up with Trücizna, which
is polish for poison. and according to the band
is 9 tracks of fucked up old school black thrashing
rock and roll madness.
Starting off with just a high pitched screeching
noise, at this point i was hoping it wasn't anything
like it in the rest of the album but it does appear
in other places, looking at the art work, which
is mostly unreadable, i was expecting a death
metal band, but its more thrash metal with death
metal vocals, which is a bit of a let down really,
as the music its self is well produced and stella,
with top notch guitar work, altho the drumming
is good, nothing that inventive, with blast beats
every now and then, 'Total Annihilation' is a
stand out track, being almost catchy with a good
riff, it is also the longest track on the album,
just clocking in just under 5 minutes and it should
please most old school thrashers. Most of the
tracks are fairly short being just over 3 minutes
long and even a few of them come in under 3 as
well. this is a fairly short album, at under 30
minutes. The album is good but its let down and
wasted by poor vocals and some times boring drumming,
the shredding on the guitar though is very good.The
album finishes with a Sepultura cover 'Troops
of Doom', which is a fairly competent cover. when
listening back to a few of the tracks, i couldn't
manage to get through them again, as i just found
the drumming particularly annoying, with its bongo
like sound.
Trücizna is out now on the Agonia Records
label, in all good record stores an even some
rubbish ones too.
3/5
