HARDWARES

DECEPTOR Chains Of Delusion (Shadow Kingdom) Reviewed by : Greg Pratt Rating : 8.5

I really, really like and applaud what the longhairs over at Shadow Kingdom records are doing, and with this EP from UK speed/thrashers DECEPTORS, they've proven that they have an ear for not just digging up cool chestnuts to reissue, but they can also find contemporary bands that are top notch. Think the thrash revival is dead? Maybe it is, but check this out for an example of how a band can combine cool tech ramblings that are still full-speed-ahead rumblings ('Sentient Shackles' sounds like a demo from a great-era MEGADETH album), all with a love for thrash how it should be. The band has a bit of a demo-quality feel to them (singing and production could both use a bit of extra oomph, but that'll come in time), and this doesn't pack the punch of a, say, Testament, but it does take a slightly different approach, adding in more tech elements as well as more of an '80s speed vibe. With a bit of a beefier production and slightly more solid vocals, this band is gonna kill.
