In spite of this new record being the third full-length release from this German trio, I assume they have other commitments because it\u2019s been nearly seven years since the last album, 2017\u2019s War Blooded<\/em>. Since then, original members RobSess (vocals and bass) and Fr\u00e4nk The T\u00e4nk (guitar) have enlisted Armagenda drummer ManOwaR, who joined in 2018.<\/p>\n

Now, silly band member names and bland band moniker aside, this is a fiery and fast outing drizzled with plenty of blazing riffs, hyper drums and, as I anticipated, a strong worship of the Teutonic legends Destruction<\/a> and Kreator, particularly musically.<\/p>\n

Dying World<\/em> is not overtly technical or, sadly, memorable, but it does zip along quite nicely. If scalding thrash is your thing then I\u2019ve no doubt you\u2019ll dig the vicious offerings, especially my personal \u2018All Hope Is Gone\u2019, opener \u2018Final Dawn Of Light\u2019 and closer \u2018Piece Of Cloth\u2019. But the strongest vibe I get from Full Assault is a Trivium one, particularly with the hoarse vocals. I\u2019ve never been a fan of Trivium, but Dying World<\/em> is crisply melodic in its thrash outbursts, although most of the songs melt into big war torn cauldron that also bristles with an Accept or Rage intensity.<\/p>\n

\u2018Edge Of A Collapse\u2019, \u2018Apocalyptic World\u2019 and \u2018Signs Of the End\u2019 may, at some point, provide the ideal soundtrack to scenes depicting debris strewn and smouldering lands, but there is just something so generic about these songs, summed up by the angst-ridden haste of \u2018Planet Grave\u2019 which sounds like every other contemporary thrash act venting its anger via At The Gates.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all delivered in extremely serious fashion; solid thrash with no identity. Dying World<\/em> seems to lack the slickness of the last album too, so although it burns to the touch, the wounds heal very quickly as I move onto the next band.<\/p>\n
