A PERFECT MURDER - Strength Through Vengeance (2009)













A PERFECT MURDER (can)
Strength Through Vengeance (2005)
Victory Records


This is a hard review because I'm multi-tasking right now and A Perfect Murder's Strength Through Vengeance, their 2005 album is blasting through the speakers. Another busy night but the strength, I'm getting from this band's infectious groove sounding like no other than the great Texan quartet, Pantera.

It's nice to relive the old Texas thrash music that has been missing and gaps the hard music lately. Die hard Pantera fans should check this band out because even if they sound a lot like Pantera, they're a cool band that is worthy enough to walk the path of the cowboys from hell.

I'm catching their songs randomly because of my job transferring files the old stupid way because I haven't put up the network in this computers. But here are some of the tracks:

Strength Through Vengeance
The first track and the title track of the album. Even if they sound a lot like Pantera, hurting the ears with menacing Phil Anselmo growls, the instruments sounds like a thrash Metallica song. listen closely to the guitars both rhythm and lead guitar style and delivery. Going full blast with full strength and a very effective aggressive approach that shows their promise and claim to the throne left vacant for them. It's like Damage Inc. all over again with Phil doing the vocals. Nice idea combining two titanic forces in metal.

Black Hate Machine
This is what I'm talking about. A newer music surge with hardcore balls and metal ammunition to conquer by force. Great groove elements and effective drum pattern. The guitar patterns here comes close to the great Darrell's signature sound. Bouncy and has tons of bending steel. This is a demanding song. This demands not just attention but respect through a violent way. growling and menacing with tight instrumentation.

Wake Up And Die
Filled with attitude and the ever present breakdowns but as the usual sound of their heroes, there's a lot of bending strings. This song takes the strongest points of groove and hardcore. Energetic and never seems to get their tanks empty with high voltage energy to creative superb songs that is never too boring to listen to. Pure relentless attitude from start to end. The ending of this song just jerks the music out leaving you gasping for air.

As some might stray away because of the apparent similarities of A Perfect Murder with Pantera and there is nothing worst than a copycat in music. You might give these fellows a chance because their music has great tunes that would really make the cowboys bang their heads. Living and the rested.
