I DO like thrash, it's just that I expect something memorable to hold onto. In this case, Devastation has the technical musicianship down, but at the sacrifice of tonality and memorability.As I listened to this album, I noticed a blur of noise, lots of super fast riffing and drumming, but the vocals were monotonous and tuneless shouting. If I ever cared about the words, as if to follow some kind of story, I couldn't hear enough distinct words within the singer's bark to tell what he was talking about.I heard a few hints of South of Heaven era Slayer, maybe a dash of Anthrax and even Suicidal Tendencies, but not enough to say they are imitating any of them.This is just too extreme for my tastes, and I like extreme music. It just has to have something memorable or something to keep my interest and Devastation, at least on this album, doesn't fill the bill. Not recommended.
