MB's album of the day 12/1. Dekapitator ~ The Storm Before the Calm

Dekapitator ~ The Storm Before the Calm

This is one of my favorite albums from this 'new wave of thrash' movement.

When I first got this album 2 years ago, I wasn't really into it. I kinda of put it aside for a while. Then later, I rediscovered it and really liked it for whatever reason.

I'm not wild about a lot of these bands as I see them as pretty generic. I usually prefer the thrash acts who have a lot of originality to their music (like Skeletonwitch, 3 Inches of Blood, etc), however this band really has something going for them IMO.

The songwriting is fantastic and really brings to mind the days when I first got into thrash when I was a kid.

Any other fans? I'd rate this album a very solid 8.5/10.

Yeah they were an awesome band! Too bad they disbanded now. Played quite a few shows with them and they always kicked ass!

I saw them onstage and got the cd.

Would of been kewl to see them with AoB and I wish I could find "storm" on vinyl like I found AoB.

Haven't heard this one in a while. Dug it out and am jammin' it right now.

Darn good album.One of the best thrash albums at the time.Didnt know they disbanded,thats a shame.

Only received it monday so I haven't had a chance to listen to it.

Hmmmm, must've missed these guys on the forst go-round. Not ringing any bells, but checking them out on myspace now. Not quite sold on the vocals, but the music sounds decent enough. Repeated spins could sway me though.

Great, bay area sounding thrash. Didn't know they disbanded. Shame.

I love the album cover The music is also a cut above a lot of the stuff from younger thrash bands.

yeah, it is too bad they broke up. Are any of the members pursuing any other musical avenues?

Good cd!
