INTÖXICATED
Sadistic Nightmares
MDD (2023)
Rating: 7/10

A decade ago this German band released its debut full-length platter – 2013’s Röck ’N Roll Hellpatröl – and then vanished, but now they have returned from the depths of silence with their second opus, Sadistic Nightmares.
Very much channelling the ghost of Venom, Intöxicated fuses a very much tried, tired and tested formula by marrying a drunken sort of thrashiness with a snarling rock ‘n’ roll attitude. It’s certainly fun but somewhat throwaway as the leathery combo rattles off a batch of tracks with titles like ‘Street Metal Bastards’ and ‘Sex, Violence & Death’. The Motörhead-ish ‘Bad Habits’ flows like a rusty river, ‘Sadistic Night’ features a simple chanted chorus and the rest of the tracks follow similar paths of leather-clad persuasion.
With Sadistic Nightmares, Intöxicated deliver basic good time metal that may get lost in the swamp of similar designs, but I do like that album cover.
